    A nurse is collecting data from a client who is taking aspirin.Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider?

    Explanation & Rationale

    Choice A rationale:While headache can be a side effect of aspirin, it’s usually not severe enough to warrant reporting to the provider unless it’s persistent or severe.Choice B rationale:Rhinitis, or inflammation of the mucous membrane of the nose, can be an allergic reaction to aspirin and should be reported to the provider.Choice C rationale:Hematocrit (Hct) level of 43% is within the normal range for both men (38.8–50.0 %) and women (34.9–44.5 %), so this finding would not need to be reported.Choice D rationale:A blood pressure reading of 120/70 mm Hg is within the normal range and would not need to be reported.
