Question

26 of 50 a client who underwent a kidney transplant 6 months earlier is seen in the clinic for a routine monthly appointment. the nurse reviews how the client has been doing and observes for signs or symptoms of acute rejection. which signs and symptoms suggest acute rejection of the transplanted kidney? select all that apply. rationale, strategy, reference, tip answer options 1 oliguria 2 swelling of the lips 3 tachypnea with wheezing 4 elevation of blood pressure over baseline 5 abdominal tenderness on the side of the kidney transplant 6 elevation of serum blood urea nitrogen (bun) and creatinine submit

Explanation:

Oliguria indicates reduced kidney - function which can be a sign of rejection. Elevation of blood pressure over baseline can occur due to kidney dysfunction in rejection. Abdominal tenderness on the side of the kidney transplant may suggest inflammation from rejection. Elevation of serum blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine are markers of impaired kidney function, common in rejection. Swelling of the lips and tachypnea with wheezing are not typical signs of kidney - transplant acute rejection but may be related to other allergic or respiratory conditions.

Answer:

1. Oliguria
2. Elevation of blood pressure over baseline
3. Abdominal tenderness on the side of the kidney transplant
4. Elevation of serum blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine
