SPOTLIGHT: NURSING MANAGEMENT OF RENAL
HEALTH CHALLENGES
1. AKUTE KIDNEY INJURY (CH.49)
1. Differentiate between Acute Renal Failure and Chronic Renal
Failure
- Acute Renal Failure: Sudden onset. Acute tubular necrosis is
the most common cause. Acute reduction in urine output or
elevated level in serum creatinine. High mortality rate usually
caused by infection.
- Chronic Renal Failure: Gradual. Irreversible. Not as high of a
mortality rate. Mortality rate is usually caused by cardiac
complications.
2. What lab test is the best overall measure of kidney function?
- Estimated glomerular filtration rate (EGFR).
3. State whether the cause of Renal Failure is PRERENAL,
INTRARENAL or
POST RENAL
a. A client is in a motor vehicle accident and rupture the
bladder_____PRERENAL.

b. A client overdose on a nephrotoxic
drug______INTRARENAL
c. A client has pregnancy–induced
hypertension_______INTRARENAL
d. A client is found to have urinary obstruction secondary to
uric acid crystals__________POST RENAL
e. A client has heart failure______ PRERENAL
4. Define the following:
a. Oliguria: low urine output, less than 400ml within 24
hours
b. Polyuria: when your body produces a large amount of
urine and you urinate a lot.
c. Anuria: no urine output.
5. Describe Nursing Interventions during the following stages of
AKI (1184)
a. Oliguric Phase (decreased urine output)
i. . Fluid intake must be closely monitored
(calculate the fluid loss within 24 hours).
ii. . Treat hyperkalemia (increased potassium
levels) – regular insulin administration.
iii. . Administer diuretics. iv. . Limits fluids, and
eat low sodium diet.
v. . Elevate patients bed.
b. Diuretic Phase
i. . Monitor patients weight (fluid intake &
output). ii. . eat low sodium intake, eat high in
potassium. iii. . elevate extremities for potential
