Answer to Question 1

C
To help control hypertension and edema, patients with nephritic syndrome should restrict their intake of sodium. Fluid restriction is not necessary because patients still produce urine. Protein and energy intakes should be adequate to prevent malnutrition and catabolism and replace uri-nary losses.

Answer to Question 2

B
In nephritic syndrome, damage to the capillary walls in the glomerulus cause loss of protein. Ex-cretion of fluid, sodium, and calcium are not excessive.
