Question

a nurse assessing a client who has a new diagnosis of sle. which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
a client report of weight gain
b petechiae on thighs
c systolic murmur
d client report of fatigue

Explanation:

• Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease. Fatigue is a common and often early - stage symptom of SLE. Weight gain is not a typical direct finding of SLE. Petechiae (small, non - blanching red or purple spots) are more associated with platelet disorders rather than SLE. A systolic murmur is not a classic manifestation of SLE.

Answer:

D. Client report of fatigue
