The nurse is preparing to administer a prescribed drug to a client with a history of renal disease. why should the nurse anticipate administering a lower dose than for a client with healthy kidneys?



Answer :

The nurse should anticipate administering a lower dose of prescribed drug to a client with a history of renal disease than for a client with healthy kidneys because excretion is likely to take place slowly.

Renal diseases are the chronic disease of the kidney. This affects the functions of the kidney severely. The symptoms of the disease include nausea, vomiting, disturbances in urination (may become less or more), etc. The diseases may be caused by diabetes, infections, etc.

Excretion is the process of removing the metabolic wastes from the body. This process is carried out by the kidneys. The purification of blood takes place removing all the waste water (urine), salts, and other substances.
