Patient Data The nurse reviews the chart for a 15-year-old female patient who has been admitted to an inpatient eating disorder clinic with diagnoses of anorexia nervosa and dehydration. iSeonyann Pinaral . Lahosirey Resulis Click to highlight the assessment findings the nurse will report to the healthcare provider immediately for further evaluation. Select a tab to see patient information @ - Temperature 95.5°F Pulse 40 bpm Respirations 14 breaths/min Blood pressure 74/40 mmHg Pulse oximetry 96% Potassium 2.9 mEq/L The patient states she is “fat and ugly” Constipation BUN 30 mg/dL Creatinine 3 mg/dL KEY @ correct word(s) highlighted @ incorrect word(s) highlighted @ missed correct word(s) that should have been highlighted W That's right! Rationale: The patient has hypothermia with a temperature of 95.5°F, bradycardia with a heart rate of 40 bpm, and hypotension with a blood pressure of 74/40 mmHg, which should all be reported to the healthcare provider for further evaluation and treatment. The patient’s laboratory values are abnormal, showing hypokalemia (low potassium) and elevated kidney function with BUN and creatinine. These laboratory levels are associated with medical complications from anorexia nervosa and need further evaluation. The patient’s respiratory rate and pulse oximetry reading are normal. The patient’s thoughts about her appearance are not an urgent concern at this time but are associated with her diagnosis of anorexia nervosa and will likely be addressed with counseling. The constipation is not an urgent need at this time.
