Question 1 of 5

A home health nurse is examining the lab results of several patients with a history of heart failure (HF). Which patient's finding should the nurse immediately report to the healthcare provider?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels are used to diagnose and monitor heart failure. A BNP level of 550 pg/mL (550 ng/L) is significantly higher than the normal range, which is less than 100 pg/mL. High BNP levels indicate that the heart is working harder than normal, which is a common occurrence in heart failure.
Therefore, this result should be reported immediately to the healthcare provider.
