Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reviewing the laboratory results of a client who has a pressure ulcer. The nurse should identify an elevation in which of the following laboratory values as an indication that the client has developed an infection?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: WBC count. An elevation in WBC count indicates an immune response to infection. White blood cells are the body's defense against pathogens. In the context of a pressure ulcer, an increase in WBC count suggests that the body is fighting off an infection at the site of the ulcer. Elevated BUN (
A) may indicate kidney dysfunction, not necessarily infection. RBC count (
B) is related to oxygen-carrying capacity and not specific to infection. Potassium (
D) levels may be affected by factors like diet or medication, not directly related to infection.
