Which lab or imaging tests would you order for this patient? Why?

Physical assessment nursing advanced questions wk 5

For this patient, I would order a complete blood count (CBC) test to check for anemia, a lipid panel to check cholesterol levels and look for signs of cardiovascular disease, and a urinalysis to evaluate the function of their kidneys and detect any urinary tract infections. Additionally, I would order imaging tests such as an X-ray or CT scan to assess possible fractures or internal organ damage. Lastly, if there are any signs of infection present, a blood culture may also be necessary.
