Question 1 of 5

The client who was recently admitted with gastric cancer appears pale and weak and states feeling fatigued. In reviewing the client’s laboratory results, which component of the CBC should the nurse most associate with the client’s gastric cancer and identify as the causative factor for the fatigue?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: A. The elevation in the WBC (normal is 4500–10,000/mm3 or microL) is concerning because it could indicate an infection, but the elevation would not necessarily be related to the gastric cancer. B. The presenting symptoms are indicative of anemia, which is common in gastric cancer due to chronic blood loss, or as a result of pernicious anemia (due to loss of intrinsic factor). The low Hgb (normal is 12–15 g/dL) may be the causative factor for the fatigue. C. The serum protein is slightly low (normal is 6.0–8.0 g/dL) and could be indicative of nutritional problems associated with the gastric cancer, but it is not specific to the signs and symptoms described in the question, and it is not part of a CBC. D. The BUN (normal is 5–25 mg/dL) is within normal parameters and is measuring kidney function or hydration status. It is not part of the CBC.
