A nurse is collecting data from a client who has systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Which of the following laboratory values should the nurse review to determine the client's renalfunction?

a. Droplet precautions: Droplet precautions are used for diseases that are transmitted by

respiratory droplets, such as influenza or pneumonia. HIV is not transmitted through respiratory droplets.

b. Airborne precautions: Airborne precautions are used for diseases that are transmitted through the airborne route, such as tuberculosis. HIV is not transmitted through the airborne route.

c. Standard precautions: Standard precautions are used for the care of all patients, regardless of their diagnosis. These precautions include hand hygiene, use of personal protective equipment (PPE) as needed, and safe injection practices.

d. Contact precautions: Contact precautions are used for diseases that are spread by direct or indirect contact, such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). HIV is not

transmitted through contact with intact skin.

a. Maintain the client on bed rest: While rest may be indicated in some cases, it is not a specific intervention for managing renal stones with a urinary catheter.

b. Strain the client's urine through a mesh filter: Straining urine is essential to collect any stones that may have passed, allowing for analysis and identification.

c. Encourage fluid intake of 1500 mL/day: Adequate fluid intake is crucial to prevent stone formation, but the amount may vary depending on the client's specific needs and condition.

d. Clamp the urinary catheter every 2 hr: Clamping the urinary catheter is not a standard

intervention for managing renal stones. Straining the urine for stone collection is a more relevant intervention.
