Question 3 of 5
The nurse collects data on a client shortly after kidney transplant surgery. Which postoperative finding must the nurse report to the physician immediately?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Because kidney transplantation carries the risk of transplant rejection, infection, and other serious complications, the nurse should monitor the client's urinary function closely. A decrease from the normal urine output of 30 ml/hour is significant and warrants immediate physician notification. The other options are normal data collection findings.

A newly hired licensed practical nurse (LPN) is helping the charge nurse admit a client. The charge nurse asks the LPN if she understands the facility's rules of ethical conduct. Which statement by the LPN indicates the need for further teaching?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The law mandates that health care agencies ask all clients if they have an advance directive.
Therefore, the LPN must address this question regardless of whether the client initiates a conversation about it. Nurses must always act in the best interest of their clients, maintain confidentiality, and support the Patient's Bill of Rights.
