Add Comment

A nurse is caring for a client who has sickle cell anemia and is taking hydroxyurea. Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider 



Answer:

Hemoglobin 7.0 g/dL
Platelets 75000/mm3
Potassium 5.2 mEq/L


Hemoglobin 7.0 g/dL is correct. A hemoglobin level of 7.0 g/dL indicates hydroxyurea toxicity, and the nurse should report it to the provider.

Creatinine 1 mg/dL is incorrect. A creatinine level of 1 mg/dL is within the expected reference range.

RBC 4.7 million/mm3 is incorrect. A RBC 4.7 million/mm3 is within the expected reference range.

Platelets 75,000/mm3 is correct. A platelet level of 75,000/mm3 indicates hydroxyurea toxicity, and the nurse should report it to the provider.

Potassium 5.2 mEq/L is correct. A potassium level of 5.2 mEq/L indicates tumor lysis syndrome, and the nurse should report it to the provider.

Follow written safety protocols, even if they slow you down

Safety protocols are in place for a reason, and you should follow them, even if they slow you down. Sometimes there will be a problem with a policy or procedure, in which case you should report it, rather than inventing a "workaround" (a method to circumvent a problem without fixing it). Likewise, you should speak up if you believe any colleague — supervisors included — is threatening patient safety. Part of patient-centered care is respecting patient autonomy, even if it means considering different treatment approaches than what you would normally consider "best practice."
