A nurse is caring for a client who has impaired renal function. For which of the following findings should the nurse notify the provider?
Correct answer
B
Rationale
The correct answer is B. A urine output of 175 mL in the past 8 hours is significantly below the normal range (typically 30-50 mL/hr). Notify the provider as it may indicate renal impairment. A: Urine output of 2,200 mL in 24 hr is within normal range. C: Strong odor in morning urine is common and not urgent. D: Cloudy urine after sitting is likely due to crystallization, not an immediate concern.
