Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has a white blood cell (WBC) count of 15,000/mm3. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Monitor the client's temperature every 4 hr. A high WBC count indicates a possible infection. Monitoring the temperature can help detect fever, a common sign of infection, enabling prompt intervention. Placing the client in a private room (
A) is not necessary unless the client has a contagious infection. Administering an antihistamine (
C) is not indicated for a high WBC count. Encouraging fluid intake (
D) is a general measure and may be beneficial, but monitoring temperature is more critical in this situation.
