, 1. The nurse would call the primary care provider immediately for which laboratory result?
1. Hgb = 16 g/dL for a male client
2. Hct = 22% for a female client
3. WBC = 9 × 103 /mL3
4. Platelets = 300 × 103 /mL3 - Correct Ans: Answer: 2. Rationale: Option 2 is very low and can lead to
death. The client's red blood cells participate in oxygenation. Options 1, 3, and 4 are within normal
range and should not be reported to the primary care provider.
2. A 78-year-old male client needs to complete a 24-hour urine specimen. In planning his care, the nurse
realizes that which measure is most important? 1. Instruct the client to empty his bladder and save this
voiding to start the collection.
2. Instruct the client to use sterile individual containers to collect the urine.
3. Post a sign stating "Save All Urine" in the bathroom.
4. Keep the urine specimen in the refrigerator. - Correct Ans: Answer: 3. Rationale: Option 3 is the most
important nursing measure. This will inform the staff that the client is on a 24-hour urine collection.
Option 1 is not appropriate since the first voided specimen is to be discarded. Option 2 is not an
appropriate nursing measure since the specimen container is clean not sterile, and one container is
needed—not individual containers. Option 4 is inappropriate because some 24-hour urine collections do
not require refrigeration.
3. The client has a urinary health problem. Which procedure is performed using indirect visualization? 1.
Intravenous pyelography (IVP)
2. Kidneys, ureter, bladder (KUB)
3. Retrograde pyelography
4. Cystoscopy - Correct Ans: Answer: 2. Rationale: A KUB is an x-ray of the kidneys, ureters, and bladder.
This does not require direct visualization. Option 1 is an IVP, an intravenous pyelogram, which requires
the injection of a contrast media. Option 3 is a retrograde pyelography, which requires the injection of a
contrast media. Option 4 is a cystoscopy, which uses a lighted instrument (cystoscope) inserted through
the urethra, resulting in direct visualization.
4. Which noninvasive procedure provides information about the physiology or function of an organ?
1. Angiography
2. Computerized tomography (CT)
3. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
