Can someone please help answer this question? I am not sure if I am right about my options: either serum creatinine or specific gravity. For serum creatinine, I am a bit confused because of the age factor of the client which could tamper with the accuracy of the result.
A nurse is concerned about renal function in an 84-year-old client who is taking several medications. what is a priority for the nurse to assess?
(a) Specific gravity
(b) sodium levels
(c) troponin level
(d) serum creatinine
