ATI RN Pediatric Nursing 2023 Questions
Extract:
A nurse is caring for a 4-year-old child who has meningitis and is receiving gentamicin.
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following laboratory values should the nurse report to the provider?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Creatinine 1.4 mg/dL (0.2 to 0.5 mg/dL). Creatinine levels outside the normal range indicate kidney dysfunction. A level of 1.4 mg/dL is elevated, suggesting impaired renal function. This should be reported to the provider for further evaluation and potential intervention.
Choices B, C, and D are within the normal range, so they do not require immediate reporting. BUN levels alone do not indicate kidney dysfunction, so choices C and D are not the correct answers. Reporting the abnormal creatinine value is crucial for early intervention and preventing further kidney damage.
