Question 1 of 5

The nurse is caring for the client with a large, open sternal wound resulting from a burn injury. The client is receiving enteral feeding, Oxepa (an anti-inflammatory, pulmonary 1.5 Cal/mL formula), at 25 mL/hour. Which laboratory value finding best indicates that the client is receiving inadequate nutrition?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Prealbumin is used to evaluate nutritional status. A low level of prealbumin indicates inadequate nutrition. Prealbumin has a half-life of 2 days and reflects changes in serum protein stores more rapidly than other indices. The phosphorus level decreases in malnutrition as well as other conditions, but this is not the best indicator of inadequate nutrition. Platelets are essential to blood clotting and may or may not be altered with inadequate nutrition. Potassium is the major cation within the cell and may be low due to renal failure or GI disorders.
