A child with glomerulonephritis receiving corticosteroid treatment requires dietary teaching. What instruction should the nurse provide to the parent?

  • A. Increase the child's intake of potassium-rich foods.
  • B. Encourage the child to eat low-calorie snacks.
  • C. Offer the child a variety of fresh fruits.
  • D. Restrict the child's fluid intake.
Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is to offer the child a variety of fresh fruits. Glomerulonephritis and corticosteroid use can lead to potassium depletion. Fresh fruits are a good source of potassium, which can help counteract the depletion caused by corticosteroids. Encouraging a variety of fresh fruits can provide necessary nutrients and help maintain a balanced diet for the child.
