Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reviewing a client's laboratory results. Which of the following findings should the nurse be concerned about?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Sodium 126 mEq/l. This finding indicates hyponatremia, which can be a serious electrolyte imbalance leading to neurological symptoms like confusion, seizures, and coma. Low sodium levels can result from various conditions such as dehydration, heart failure, or kidney disease. The other choices are within normal ranges or close to normal values, so they are not concerning. Chloride (
B) and potassium (
D) levels are also crucial electrolytes, but their values are not alarming in this scenario. Albumin (
C) is a protein in the blood, and a slightly elevated level is not typically concerning.
