A very low hemoglobin level can cause swelling in the arms and legs.Serum albumin level XXXX Red blood cell count White blood cell count A client has increased serum phosphorus levels. Which condition related to hyperphosphatemia would the nurse expect to find in the client?Hyperkalemia Hypernatremia Hypocalcemia XXXX Hypomagnesaemia
Feedback: This is incorrect. Low serum magnesium levels, or hypomagnesemia, are
not associated with increased serum phosphorus levels.
8.The nurse is providing care for a client with an undiagnosed illness.Calculations of the anion gap indicate an elevation, and the client is identified as being positive for metabolic acidosis.
