Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reviewing the medical record for a newly admitted client. Which of the following laboratory values should the nurse report to the provider?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Potassium 5.8 mEq/L. This value indicates hyperkalemia, which can lead to serious cardiac complications. The nurse should report this to the provider immediately for further evaluation and intervention. Magnesium (
A) at 1.9 mEq/L is within the normal range. Calcium (
B) at 9.6 mg/dL is also within normal limits. Sodium (
D) at 140 mEq/L is a normal value.
Therefore, the abnormal potassium level (
C) is the critical finding that requires immediate attention.
