End-stage renal disease

End-stage renal disease ( 49 Questions)

A nurse is assessing a client with ESRD and asks about their history of kidney stones. Which statement by the client requires further evaluation by the nurse?


Correct Answer: D

A. This statement is reassuring. The client's history of kidney stones in the past does not directly contribute to their current diagnosis of ESRD if the stones were successfully treated. However, it may still be relevant to their overall kidney health and risk factors.

B. This statement is concerning. Family history of kidney stones and a sister with ESRD may indicate a genetic predisposition to kidney disease and warrants further evaluation.

C. This statement is positive. Changing the diet to avoid kidney stones is a proactive step to protect kidney health and reduce the risk of kidney damage.

D. This statement requires further evaluation by the nurse. While hypertension and diabetes are well-known risk factors for ESRD, the absence of kidney stones does not rule out other potential causes or risk factors for the client's current diagnosis.
