A client reports experiencing numbness and tingling in the extremities.
Question 1 of 5
Which of the client's serum laboratory values should the practical nurse (PN) prioritize reporting to the healthcare provider?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Electrolytes. Electrolyte imbalances can have serious consequences on a patient's health, leading to cardiac arrhythmias, muscle weakness, and neurological issues. Prioritizing reporting electrolyte abnormalities allows for prompt intervention to prevent complications. Hematocrit (
A) and white blood cell count (
D) are important but not as urgent as electrolytes. Albumin and protein levels (
B) are more indicative of nutritional status and chronic conditions rather than acute issues. Other choices do not provide immediate critical information.
