### 3. A nurse is caring for a client who is postoperative following
abdominal surgery. Click to highlight the assessment findings below
that the nurse should report to the provider. To deselect a finding,
click on the finding again.
Assessment findings:
- A. Urinary output
- B. Reported pain level
- C. Vital signs
Correct Answer: A. Urinary output and C. Vital signs
Rationale:
Postoperative clients should have adequate urinary output (typically >0.5
mL/kg/hr), and significant changes might indicate hypovolemia or renal
impairment needing provider notification. Vital signs are crucial to monitor
for signs of hemorrhage or infection. Although pain should be managed, a
reported pain level alone does not always require provider notification unless
it is uncontrolled or unusual. Therefore, urinary output and vital signs are
priority findings to report.
