Thank you guys for the help. :) Its very much needed and appreciated

I'm learning my charting and I'm confused on exactly how to word something. Can I say... Right Picc line infusing D5W at 25cc/hr. No edema or redness noted or is there a better way to chart picc lines?

From what I can tell (as a student what I think I know lol) Increase in BUN can be due to Kidney dysfunction and decrease can be due to liver dysfunction. A decrease in BUN can also be due to a diet low in protein. Recent muscle injuries can also make it low. My question is would a recent abdominal surgery be related to a low level. Isn't that considered a muscle injury of sorts? Her anemia is related to menorrhagia. I just cant figure this one lab out CHF is associated with high levels. She is taking Ferrous Sulfate with can cause liver damage and liver damage can cause low bun levels............my head is swimming

Ok so I have this assignment. I get DX, past med surg hx and medications being taken and I have to figure out why the labs are abnormal. I have it all figured out but one. My pretend patients BUN levels are low. She's not malnurished. Nothing was said to make me believe she has abnormal liver fnx. She has a IV infusing at 125 cc/hr but she's on Lasix for CHF. She also has a recent abdominal surg and is iron deficiency anemia. I'm not asking for the answer just hoping someone can point me in the right direction............
