a nurse is caring for a client who has acute kidney injury (aki). the nurse should expect which of the following findings in the clients medical record? (select all that apply.)\n□ increased bun\n□ decreased glomerular filtration rate (gfr)\n□ decreased creatinine\n□ decreased urine output\n□ jugular venous distention
Answer
# Brief Explanations:
In acute kidney injury, the kidneys' function is impaired. The kidneys are less able to filter waste products like urea (resulting in increased BUN), and the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) decreases. Creatinine usually increases, not decreases. Urine - producing ability is affected, leading to decreased urine output. Fluid retention can occur, causing jugular venous distention.
# Answer:
A. Increased BUN
B. Decreased glomerular filtration rate (GFR)
D. Decreased urine output
E. Jugular venous distention
