A client is admitted with cough, congestion, bilateral rales, and clear nasal drainage. In reviewing the differential WBC the nurse notes the lymphocytes are elevated. How should the nurse interpret the elevated lymphocytes?

as an allergic response

as an inflammatory response

as a viral infection

as a bacterial infection

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is C

A.   Allergic responses typically involve an increase in eosinophils rather than lymphocytes.
B.   While an inflammatory response may involve an increase in lymphocytes, the presentation of clear nasal drainage and cough with bilateral rales suggests a respiratory infection rather than a generalized inflammatory process.
C.   Elevated lymphocytes are often indicative of a viral infection, as the body mounts an immune response to fight off the viral invader.
D.   Bacterial infections typically involve an increase in neutrophils rather than lymphocytes, although lymphocytosis may occur in some bacterial infections as part of the immune response.

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

A. Rheumatoid factor (RF) is often elevated in individuals with rheumatoid arthritis.

B. CA 125 is a tumor marker used primarily for detecting ovarian cancer and is not specific to rheumatoid arthritis.
C. While increased white blood cell count (WBC) may occur in inflammatory conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, it is not specific to the disease.

D. In rheumatoid arthritis, the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) is typically elevated rather than decreased.

Correct Answer is ["8"]

Explanation

To answer this question, the nurse needs to use the formula:

mL = (mg x 1 mL) / mg

where mg is the prescribed dose and mL is the available dose. Plugging in the values, we get:

mL = (80 mg x 1 mL) / 10 mg mL = 8 mL

Therefore, the nurse should administer 8 mL of furosemide oral solution.
