The nurse is reviewing laboratory data for assigned clients. Which laboratory result requires immediate follow-up with the primary healthcare provider (PHCP)?
Correct answer
C
Rationale
Leukocytes and nitrites in urinalysis for a chemotherapy client (C) indicate a possible urinary tract infection, critical due to immunosuppression. Elevated amylase (A) and WBC (B) are expected, and glucose of 235 (D) is elevated but less urgent.
