Question 1 of 5
The nurse is reviewing the laboratory report from the first prenatal visit of the pregnant client. Which laboratory result should the nurse most definitely discuss with the HCP?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: A Pap smear with HPV changes reflects an abnormal result. HPV changes are a risk factor for cervical cancer. The nurse should discuss the result with the HCP because it requires further assessment and follow-up. A normal Hgb is 12—15 g/dL; nutritional counseling should be initiated when the Hgb is less than 12 g/dL. An Hct of 33% is also low (normal Hct value = 38% to 47%; this decreases by 4% to 7% in pregnancy), but increasing the Hgb with iron-rich foods should also raise the Hct. A WBC count of 7000/mm3 is within the normal range of 5000 to 12,000/mm3. A urine pH of 7.4 is within the normal range of 4.6 to 8.0; the specific gravity is within the normal range of 1.010 to 1.025.
