PN Comprehensive Predictor PN 2020 Proctored Exam
A nurse is reviewing laboratory values for a client who is at 34 weeks of gestation. Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider?
Explanation & Rationale
Proteinuria can indicate kidney dysfunction or potential complications in pregnancy, such as preeclampsia. The provider needs to be aware of this finding and may want to assess the client further and consider appropriate interventions. The other laboratory values are within normal ranges and do not require immediate reporting. Hgb (hemoglobin) of 13.2 g/dL is within the normal range for pregnancy. BUN (blood urea nitrogen) of 15 mg/dL is within the normal range, indicating normal kidney function. Fasting blood glucose of 72 mg/dL is within the normal range and indicates normal blood sugar levels.
