Question 1 of 5

A nurse is reviewing the BUN and creatinine levels of an older adult client who has chronic kidney disease. The nurse should expect which of the following findings?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: BUN 45 mg/dL and creatinine 8 mg/dL. In chronic kidney disease, BUN and creatinine levels are typically elevated due to impaired kidney function. BUN (blood urea nitrogen) is a waste product filtered by the kidneys, and creatinine is a waste product from muscle metabolism. Higher BUN and creatinine levels indicate decreased kidney function.
Choice B has normal levels, which are not expected in chronic kidney disease.
Choice C has low levels, which are inconsistent with kidney disease.
Choice D has slightly elevated BUN but normal creatinine levels, which is less indicative of kidney disease compared to the correct answer.
