Answer to Question 1

A
Medical management for nephrotic syndrome depends on the extent of tissue involvement and may include the use of corticosteroids and a low-sodium, high-protein diet.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
When dehydration is suspected, the nurse should monitor and record fluid intake and output. This would likely precede IV rehydration and blood work, and minimizing food intake would be an inappropriate action.
