Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Which of the following laboratory findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Elevated antinuclear antibody (AN
A) titer. In systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissues, leading to elevated ANA levels. ANA is a marker for autoimmune diseases like SLE.
Choice B is incorrect because ESR is typically elevated in SLE due to inflammation.
Choice C is incorrect as complement levels are often low in SLE due to consumption.
Choice D is incorrect because rheumatoid factor is associated with rheumatoid arthritis, not SLE.
