Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reviewing laboratory findings for a client who is at 20 weeks of gestation. Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Fasting blood glucose 180 mg/dL (74 to 106 mg/dL). During pregnancy, elevated blood glucose levels can indicate gestational diabetes, which can pose risks to both the mother and the fetus. A fasting blood glucose level of 180 mg/dL is significantly above the normal range of 74 to 106 mg/dL and warrants immediate attention from the healthcare provider to initiate appropriate management and monitoring.
Choice A (Hematocrit 37%): Falls within the normal range for a pregnant woman and does not raise immediate concerns.
Choice B (Creatinine 0.9 mg/dL): Within the normal range and not typically a cause for concern at this level.
Choice C (WBC count 11,000/mm3): Slightly elevated but can be a normal physiological response to pregnancy due to increased blood volume and does not necessarily indicate a problem.
In summary, the other choices do not indicate an urgent issue requiring immediate provider notification
