1. Question
The nurse is reviewing the laboratory results of a client diagnosed with multiple myeloma. Which would the nurse expect to note specifically in this disorder?
CorrectAnswer & Rationale:
Option 1 is corrent
Rationale: Findings indicative of multiple myeloma are an increased number of plasma cells in the bone marrow, anemia, hypercalcemia caused by the release of calcium from the deteriorating bone tissue, and an elevated blood urea nitrogen level. An increased white blood cell count may or may not be present and is not related specifically to multiple myeloma.
Test-Taking Strategy: Use the process of elimination. Noting the name of the disorder and recalling the pathophysiology of the disease and that proliferation of plasma cells in the bone occurs will direct you to option 1. Review this information if you are unfamiliar with this oncological disorder.
