A nurse is caring for a client following an open colectomy. Which of the following findings places the client at risk for delayed wound healing?

A. While a blood pressure of 156/90 mm Hg may be elevated, it is not necessarily an indication to withhold propranolol, which is commonly used to treat hypertension.

B. A pulse rate of 54/min suggests bradycardia, which is a potential side effect of propranolol and may warrant withholding the medication.

C. A potassium level of 5.2 mEq/L is within the normal range (3.5-5.0 mEq/L) and is not typically a reason to withhold propranolol.

D. A sodium level of 130 mEq/L is within the normal range (135-145 mEq/L) and is not typically a reason to withhold propranolol.

A. Herpes simplex virus 2: Herpes simplex virus infections are not typically reportable to the

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). These infections are commonly managed at the local level.

B. Candida albicans: Candida albicans infections are not typically reportable to the CDC. Candida species are common pathogens and are usually managed at the local level.

C. Staphylococcus aureus: Staphylococcus aureus infections, including methicillin-resistant

Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), are not typically reportable to the CDC unless part of a larger outbreak or public health concern.

D. Lyme disease: Lyme disease is a reportable infection that requires notification to public health authorities, including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Lyme disease is a vector-borne illness transmitted through the bite of infected ticks.
