Answer 1

The nursing intervention that should be a priority when an older adult client gets diagnosed with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and has fluid volume excess is: assessing the client's lung sounds.

ESRD is a chronic kidney disease resulting in kidney failure. This is a gradual loss of the functioning of kidney that cannot be restored. The only solution to this disease is long-term dialysis on a regular basis or kidney transplant.
