Glomerulonephritis NCLEX Questions

This is a quiz that contains NCLEX review questions for acute glomerulonephritis (poststreptococcal). As a nurse providing care to a patient with acute glomerulonephritis, it is important to know the signs and symptoms, pathophysiology, nursing management, patient education, and treatment.

In the previous NCLEX review series, I explained about other renal disorders you may be asked about on the NCLEX exam, so be sure to check out those reviews and quizzes as well.

Don’t forget to watch the glomerulonephritis lecture prior to taking the quiz.
