A nurse is collecting data from an older adult client who has cystitis. Which of the following findings should the nurse anticipate?

Choice C Hemoglobin 8.6 g/dL indicates the nurse should notify the provider because it is below the normal range of 12 to 18 g/dL and suggests blood loss or anemia, which can impair oxygen delivery to tissues and affect wound healing.

Choice a is not correct because blood glucose 98 mg/dL does not indicate the nurse should notify the provider because it is within the normal range of 70 to 110 mg/dL and does not indicate hyperglycemia or hypoglycemia, which can affect recovery.

Choice b is not correct because BUN 18 mg/dL does not indicate the nurse should notify the provider because it is within the normal range of 10 to 20 mg/dL and does not indicate renal impairment or dehydration, which can affect fluid and electrolyte balance.

Choice d is not correct because potassium 3.5 mEq/L does not indicate the nurse should notify the provider because it is within the normal range of 3.5 to 5 mEq/L and does not indicate hypokalemia or hyperkalemia, which can affect cardiac function and muscle contraction.

Choice A reason: Hypertension is not a sign of a septic reaction, but rather a sign of a hypertensive or circulatory overload reaction to the blood transfusion.

Choice B reason: Distended neck veins are not a sign of a septic reaction, but rather a sign of a circulatory overload or cardiac failure reaction to the blood transfusion.

Choice C reason: Polyuria is not a sign of a septic reaction, but rather a sign of a hemolytic or renal failure reaction to the blood transfusion.

Choice D reason: Vomiting is a sign of a septic reaction, which occurs when the blood transfusion is contaminated with bacteria. Other signs of a septic reaction include fever, chills, hypotension, and shock.
