A client with cancer is experiencing a common side effect of chemotherapy administration. Which laboratory assessment finding would cause the most concern?
Correct answer
A
Rationale
A sodium level of 50 mg/dL is impossible (likely a typo for 50 mEq/L, which is severely hyponatremic) and life-threatening, causing seizures. Glucose (B), platelets (C), and WBC (D) are near normal or less critical.
