Answer:

The statement "I should drink as much as possible to keep my kidneys working." indicates a need for further teaching

Step-by-step explanation:

Post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis is a type-III hypersensitivity reaction , in which the immune complexes bind to the glomerular basement membrane resulting in :

1) Edema

2) Hypertension

3) Cola-coloured urine and RBC's in urine.

Dietary management of acute post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis includes restrictions of following :

1) Protein

2) Sodium

3) Potassium

4) Fluids

As the kidneys are not able to properly filtrate the blood. Hence these things must be avoided.
