Exhibits A nurse is reviewing the medical record of a client who has COPD. Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider? (Click on the "Exhibit" button for additional information about the client. There are three tabs that contain separate categories of data.)

A. Platelet count is normal (175,000/mm3) and does not require reporting to the provider. B. Sputum color: While thick green sputum might suggest infection, the nurse should first assess for other clinical signs, and it might not need immediate reporting unless there are other concerns, like a change in respiratory status. C. Temperature (38°C / 100.4°F) is elevated, which could indicate an infection, such as a respiratory infection or exacerbation of COPD. This finding should be reported to the provider because fever in a client with COPD could lead to complications like pneumonia or exacerbation of symptoms. D. Fluid intake of 2,200 mL/24 hr is within normal limits and does not need reporting.
