Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a patient who is receiving chemotherapy. Which of the following laboratory values should the nurse report to the provider? Which lab value should the nurse report during chemotherapy?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Platelet count 50,000/mm3. During chemotherapy, patients are at risk for developing thrombocytopenia, a condition characterized by low platelet count. Thrombocytopenia can lead to increased risk of bleeding and bruising.
Therefore, a platelet count of 50,000/mm3 is concerning and should be reported to the provider for further evaluation and management.
A: Hemoglobin of 12 g/dL is within normal range and not typically a concern during chemotherapy.
C: WBC count of 8,000/mm3 is within normal range and may not be a priority during chemotherapy unless there are other concerning symptoms.
D: Serum creatinine of 1.0 mg/dL is within normal range and not directly related to chemotherapy effects on the patient's blood counts.
