Answer to Question 1

A
Care of the patient with glomerulonephritis may include a sodium-restricted diet if edema is present. Canned soups and processed meats are high in sodium. Fluids may be limited if there is oliguria (diminished urine secretion in relation to intake) or anuria (absence of urine). A low-protein, high-carbohydrate diet also may be ordered, so the patient should not increase meat intake. Fresh produce is not contraindicated for this patient.

Answer to Question 2

A
Glaucoma is a condition that causes increased ocular pressure. Surgical management for the condition seeks to provide an increased outflow of aqueous humor.
