Answer:

The action that should be included is being alert in case of tea-colored urine.

Explanation:

Acute poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis is charaterized by hematuria, proteinuria, edema and renal insufficiency. Tea-colored urine is an indication of hematuria, that is the reason why it is necessary to pay close attention to the urine.

In a patient that suffers acute poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis the urine output may be decreased, on the other hand, blood pressure may be increased.
