closely monitoring the clients BUN and creatine for an increase from baseline

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is D

A. Administering medications at different times: timing does not affect renal function monitoring.

B. Comparing the client’s armband with the MAR: this is a safety check, not a precaution for renal function.

C. Monitoring for a decrease in BUN and creatinine: a decrease does not indicate renal impairment.

D. Closely monitoring the client's BUN and creatinine for an increase from baseline: Renal function declines with age, increasing the risk of drug accumulation and toxicity. An increase in BUN (normal: 7-20 mg/dL) and creatinine (normal: 0.6-1.3 mg/dL) indicates worsening kidney function and necessitates medication adjustments.
