Question 1 of 5

A male client is admitted for observation because he is reporting progressively increasing fatigue over the past month and a brief episode of dizziness that occurred today. He has a history of heartburn and indigestion that he self-treats with ibuprofen and antacids. Which assessment finding should the nurse report immediately to the healthcare provider? Reference Ranges: Hemoglobin [14 to 18 g/dL (8.7 to 11.2 mmol/L)] Hematocrit [42% to 52% (0.42 to 0.52 volume fraction)] Gastric pH [1.5 to 3.5]

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: A positive guaiac test indicates occult blood, suggesting gastrointestinal bleeding, potentially from ibuprofen use, which exacerbates gastric irritation. This requires immediate reporting for evaluation, given the client’s fatigue and dizziness. Normal hematocrit, slightly low hemoglobin, and normal gastric pH are less urgent.
