Q

AGN Dx test

A
  • ESR elevated and lipid levels elevated

- + ASO titer confirms the streptococcal infection

17
Q

AGN Tx

A

relief of s/s & supportive therapy
diuretics
antihypertensives
Abx

18
Q

AGN RN Interventions

A 
Daily weight, strict I/O
Assess BP
resp assessment
prevent skin breakdown
low Na Diet
limit fluid if ordered
encourage rest in acute phase
19
Q
