After initial stabilization and assessment, what is the most appropriate management step? A. Renin-angiotensin system blockade when indicated B. Nephrotoxin avoidance strategy C. Volume status-guided AKI management D. Timely renal replacement therapy for urgent indications E. Urgent hyperkalemia stabilization protocol Show Answer & Explanation Correct Answer: C Explanation: Volume status-guided AKI management is preferred because it aligns with guideline-based care priorities, reduces avoidable complications, and supports safe outcomes in Nephrology.
