Question 1 of 5

The nurse is assessing a client admitted for treatment of pneumonia and possible sepsis. Which information is most important for the nurse to report?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The serum lactate level of 3.9 mmol/L is significantly higher than the normal range of 0.5-2 mmol/L. This is a critical value to report as it indicates a high likelihood of sepsis, which is a life-threatening condition requiring immediate intervention. Elevated lactate levels suggest that the tissues are not adequately oxygenated, a state known as tissue hypoxia, which is a hallmark of sepsis.
