Question 1 of 5

The emergency room nurse is assessing a client with jugular venous distention, ascites, shortness of breath, and a 3-pound weight gain in the past 24 hours. Which of the following would the nurse anticipate being ordered?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Brain Natriuretic Peptide (BNP) is correct. BNP is a key diagnostic marker for heart failure, indicating increased cardiac filling pressures and volume overload, which match the client's symptoms of jugular venous distention, ascites, shortness of breath, and weight gain. Pulmonary function tests, Alpha-1 antitrypsin, and Doppler ultrasound do not directly assess heart failure.
