Question 4 of 5
When the nurse is evaluating lab data for a client 18-24 hours after a major thermal burn, the expected physiological changes would include which of the following?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Hematocrit is elevated due to hemoconcentration from hypovolemia. Sodium, calcium, and protein levels are typically decreased due to losses into edema fluid or increased capillary permeability.
Question 5 of 5
The client is prescribed albuterol (Proventil) for asthma. Which side effect should the nurse monitor for?
