A nurse is monitoring a client who has acute kidney injury (AKI). Which of the following laboratory findings should the nurse expect?

Choice A reason: Driving restrictions are not typically necessary for clients on hemodialysis unless there are other underlying conditions affecting their ability to drive safely.

Choice B reason: Clients on hemodialysis need to restrict foods high in potassium, sodium, and phosphorus to manage their electrolyte levels and prevent complications.

Choice C reason: Airplane travel is not generally restricted for hemodialysis clients, but they may need to arrange for dialysis at their destination.

Choice D reason: Time constraints are a significant factor as hemodialysis requires several hours per session, multiple times a week.

Choice E reason: Fluid intake often needs to be restricted in clients on hemodialysis to prevent fluid overload, as the kidneys are not able to remove excess fluid effectively.

Choice F reason: Limiting social activities is not a necessary restriction unless it is related to the client's overall health status.

Choice A reason: Hyperkalemia refers to high potassium levels, which may not directly cause shortness of breath and swelling.

Choice B reason: Hypervolemia, or fluid overload, is likely the cause of the client's symptoms, including shortness of breath, swelling, crackles in the lungs, and elevated blood pressure.

Choice C reason: Hypovolemia, or fluid deficit, would not typically present with swelling and crackles in the lungs.

Choice D reason: Hyponatremia refers to low sodium levels, which may not directly cause the symptoms described.
