Question

a nurse is preparing to perform an admission assessment on a client with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (copd). it is most important for the nurse to review which of the following?
social work assessment
finances
chloride levels
available diagnostic tests

Explanation:

For a client with COPD, the nurse's admission assessment should focus on relevant medical aspects. Social work assessment and finances are non - medical and not the priority here. Chloride levels are not a key focus for COPD admission assessment. Available diagnostic tests are crucial as they provide information about the client's respiratory function and disease status, guiding the nursing care plan.

Answer:

Available diagnostic tests
