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

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D because the client is at risk for pressure ulcers with an albumin level of 4.2 g/dL. This interdisciplinary conference is needed to involve various healthcare professionals to develop a comprehensive care plan to prevent pressure ulcers. The interdisciplinary team may include nurses, dietitians, wound care specialists, and physical therapists. A low albumin level indicates poor nutrition and increases the risk of pressure ulcers.

Choices A, B, and C do not require an interdisciplinary conference as they can be managed by the nurse independently or with the healthcare provider. Option A is within the therapeutic range for aPTT with heparin therapy. Option B may require adjustments in IV fluids but does not necessitate a conference. Option C is routine care for a client with Type 1 diabetes using an insulin pump.
