Peptic ulcer disease

Peptic ulcer disease ( 45 Questions)

A client with suspected cholecystitis presents with jaundice and dark-colored urine. Which of the following clinical manifestations should the nurse associate with these findings?


Correct Answer: C

Elevated white blood cell count may indicate inflammation or infection, but it is not directly related to jaundice and dark-colored urine, which are characteristic of increased bilirubin levels.

Choice B reason:

Impaired blood clotting is not directly related to jaundice and dark-colored urine. It may be a concern in liver disease but does not explain the specific manifestations mentioned in the question.

Choice C reason:

This statement is correct. Jaundice and dark-colored urine are indicative of increased bilirubin levels in the blood, which can occur in cholecystitis due to obstruction of the bile ducts.

Choice D reason:

Elevated serum amylase is more associated with pancreatitis rather than cholecystitis. It is not directly related to the clinical manifestations described.
