Question 1 of 5

A nurse reviews an immobilized patient's laboratory results and discovers that his/her calcium lab values are abnormally high (Hypercalcemia). Which condition will the nurse monitor for most closely in this patient?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Renal stones. Hypercalcemia can lead to the formation of calcium deposits in the kidneys, increasing the risk of developing renal stones. The nurse should monitor for symptoms such as flank pain, hematuria, and urinary urgency. Thrombus formation (
A) is not directly related to hypercalcemia. Pressure ulcers (
B) are more commonly associated with immobility and skin breakdown. Hypostatic pneumonia (
D) is a risk in immobilized patients but not specifically linked to hypercalcemia in this scenario.
