Question 1 of 5
Which serum laboratory value should the nurse monitor carefully for a client who has a nasogastric (NG) tube to suction for the past week?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The nurse should monitor the client's serum sodium levels carefully when they have been on nasogastric (NG) tube suction for an extended period. Prolonged NG suctioning can lead to fluid loss and subsequent hyponatremia. Monitoring sodium levels is crucial to prevent complications. White blood cell count (Option
A), albumin (Option
B), and calcium (Option
C) are not typically affected by prolonged NG suctioning.
Therefore, these values are not the priority for monitoring in this situation.
