A nurse is reviewing the laboratory results of a client who has PROM at 38 weeks of gestation.
Which of the following findings indicates a risk for infection?
white blood cell count of 12,000/mm3 is within the normal range. The normal range for a white blood cell count is typically between 4,000 and 11,000/microliters. White blood cells are a group of blood cells that fight infection and inflammation in the body.
C-reactive protein (CRP) is a marker of inflammation and infection in the body. The normal range of CRP is less than 10 mg/L. A high level of CRP can be caused by bacterial or viral infections, autoimmune disorders, or tissue injury.
amniotic fluid pH of 7.2 is within the normal range. The normal range of amniotic fluid pH is between 7.1 and 7.3. Amniotic fluid pH reflects the acid-base balance of the fetus and can indicate fetal distress if it is too low or too high.
fetal fibronectin of 50 ng/mL is within the normal range. The normal range of fetal fibronectin is less than 200 ng/mL.
C-reactive protein (CRP) is a marker of inflammation and infection in the body. The normal range of CRP is less than 10 mg/L. A high level of CRP can be caused by bacterial or viral infections, autoimmune disorders, or tissue injury.
