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). Elevated fasting blood glucose levels during pregnancy can indicate gestational diabetes, which requires immediate attention to prevent complications for both the mother and the baby. The normal range for fasting blood glucose is 74 to 106 mg/dL; a value of 180 mg/dL is significantly elevated. The nurse should report this finding to the provider for further evaluation and management.
Choice A (Hematocrit 37%) falls within the normal range for a pregnant woman.
Choice B (Creatinine 0.9 mg/dL) is within the normal range.
Choice C (WBC count 11,000/mm3) is slightly elevated but not typically concerning during pregnancy. The focus should be on managing the high blood glucose level to ensure the health of the mother and baby.
