Four clients on a medical-surgical unit: heparin with aPTT, type 1 diabetes with insulin pump, orthostatic hypotension with IV fluids, pressure ulcer risk with albumin

Question 1 of 5

A nurse working on a medical-surgical unit is managing the care of four clients. The nurse should schedule an interdisciplinary conference for which of the following clients?

A. A client who is receiving heparin and has an aPTT of 34 seconds. B. A client who has type 1 diabetes and uses an insulin pump. C. A client who has orthostatic hypotension and is receiving IV fluids. D. A client who is at risk for pressure ulcers and has an albumin level of 4.2 g/dL.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C because the client with orthostatic hypotension receiving IV fluids may require input from various disciplines like nursing, medicine, and pharmacy to ensure proper management. Orthostatic hypotension can be complex and may require adjustments in fluid therapy and medication management, making an interdisciplinary conference essential for coordination of care.

Choice A is incorrect because a slightly elevated aPTT does not necessarily warrant an interdisciplinary conference.
Choice B is also incorrect as managing type 1 diabetes with an insulin pump is within the scope of nursing practice and may not require input from other disciplines at this time.
Choice D is incorrect as managing pressure ulcer risk with a normal albumin level is primarily within the nursing scope and may not necessitate an interdisciplinary conference.
