Question 1 of 5
The nurse is reviewing the client's assessment data to prepare the client's care plan. Complete the diagram by dragging from the choices below to specify what condition the client is most likely experiencing, two (2) actions the nurse should take to address that condition, and two (2) parameters the nurse should monitor to assess the client's progress.
Action to Take
Potential Condition
Parameter to Monitor
Correct Answer: B: Acute kidney injury, A: Request a prescription for a diuretic, C: Obtain an order to discontinue the lisinopril, D: Serum potassium, E: Lung sounds.
Rationale: Elevated creatinine, BUN, and oliguria suggest AKI. Diuretics address fluid overload, discontinuing lisinopril prevents further renal stress, and monitoring potassium and lung sounds assesses progress.
