Question 1 of 5

The nurse is caring for the client who has limited intake due to dysphagia following an ischemic stroke. Which serum laboratory result should the nurse review to verify that the client is dehydrated?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The serum creatinine is elevated with renal insufficiency or renal failure. The BUN is elevated when the client is dehydrated due to the lack of fluid volume to excrete waste products. The Hgb is decreased with blood loss or anemia from nutritional deficiencies, not with dehydration. A decreased prealbumin indicates a nutritional deficiency.
