The nurse is analyzing the pediatric client's serum laboratory report. Based on the findings, which HCP's order should the nurse prepare to implement next?
Correct answer
C
Rationale
The elevated BUN and serum creatinine indicate abnormal kidney function; a UA is an additional study to further explore kidney function. A urine culture would identify the presence of a UTI, is not specific to kidney function, and would not be indicated at this time. A CBC is not kidney function specific and is not indicated at this time. Liver function tests would not be indicated at this time because they are not specific to kidney function.
