Correct Answer is C

Explanation

Choice A rationale
A BUN level of 45 mg/dL is elevated, indicating impaired kidney function. However, a serum creatinine level of 1.0 mg/dL is within the normal range, which is not consistent with chronic kidney disease.
Choice B rationale
A BUN level of 11 mg/dL is within the normal range, but a serum creatinine level of 10 mg/dL is significantly elevated, indicating severe kidney dysfunction. This combination is not typical for chronic kidney disease.
Choice C rationale
A BUN level of 35 mg/dL and a serum creatinine level of 8 mg/dL are both elevated, indicating impaired kidney function. These values are consistent with chronic kidney disease.
Choice D rationale
A BUN level of 10 mg/dL and a serum creatinine level of 0.3 mg/dL are both within the normal range, which is not consistent with chronic kidney disease.

A. Abduction. B. Internal rotation. C. External rotation. D. Adduction.

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

Choice A rationale
Abduction is the correct position for the client’s right leg following a right total hip arthroplasty. This position helps prevent dislocation of the hip joint by keeping the leg away from the midline.
Choice B rationale
Internal rotation should be avoided as it can increase the risk of hip dislocation. This position places stress on the new hip joint.
Choice C rationale
External rotation is also not recommended as it can lead to dislocation of the hip joint. Proper alignment is crucial for healing.
Choice D rationale
Adduction, or moving the leg towards the midline, should be avoided as it significantly increases the risk of hip dislocation. Keeping the leg in abduction helps maintain joint stability.
