Question 1 of 5
The nurse receives report for a client with acute pancreatitis on hospital day 2: NPO with NGT to low intermittent suction, VS: 110/60, 99.2°F-97- 22, 0.9% NS infusing at 125 mL/hour, and IV antibiotics have been started. Chart review reveals the following current laboratory results. Which is a priority for the nurse to report to the healthcare provider?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: While an elevated WBC count may indicate infection, it is not unexpected in acute pancreatitis. Serum potassium within normal range does not require immediate intervention. Serum albumin within normal range does not require immediate intervention. Lipase levels significantly elevated above the normal range indicate ongoing pancreatic inflammation and may require intervention or adjustment of treatment.
