The patient presents with edema, weakness, and reports of fatigue and malaise. Based on the subjective and objective findings, the nurse diagnoses the patient with renal failure likely due to a compromised regulatory mechanism resulting in fluid volume excess. The plan is to monitor intake and output, administer fluids and medications as needed, and evaluate the patient's response based on urinary output, weight, and vital signs.

fluids as indicated. is usually calculated to replace output from all sources plus estimated insensible losses
Administer Given early in
medication as oliguric phase of indicated Renal Failure in an Diuretics, e.g., effort to convert to furosemide (Lasix), nonoliguric phase, mannitol (Osmitrol) flush the tubular lumen of debris, reduce hyperkalemia, and promote adequate urine volume.
Antihypertensives, May be given to
e.g., clonidine treat hypertension (Catapres) by counteracting effects of decreased renal blood flow and/or circulating volume overload
