Complete the following sentence by choosing from the list of options. The nurse immediately addresses the client’s _____1_____ because of the ____2_____ and ____3____. Options Choices Option 1 (Choose 1) 1. Pain 2. Fluid volume 3. Respiratory function Option 2 (Choose 1) 1. Electrolytes 2. White blood cells 3. Liver function Option 3 (Choose 1) 1. Platelets 2. Renal Function 3. Red blood cells Rationale: The nurse must immediately address the client’s fluid volume, which may be compromised based on the client’s elevated heart rate (tachycardia), altered electrolytes (specifically sodium), and abnormal renal function as indicated by the elevated BUN and creatinine. Addressing fluid volume status is very important because it can prevent potentially life-threatening hypovolemic shock and other acute conditions. The client denies pain, so it is not a priority for the nurse to address. The client’s respiratory function is within normal limits as is evident due to the normal rate and lack of shortness of breath. In terms of assessment findings indicative of compromised fluid volume, the client presents with a faster heart rate, altered electrolytes, and abnormal renal function. The client’s temperature and respiratory rate are within normal limits. Similarly, the client’s liver function is normal. Platelets and white blood cells are within the expected ranges. Although the client’s hematocrit is elevated, the hemoglobin is normal, so the client is not anemic. Hematocrit is the volume percentage of red blood cells (RBCs) in the blood, so it can be affected by other factors such as fluid volume, athletic performance, and even higher altitude. Module 3
