Question 1 of 5

A client with hepatic encephalopathy is receiving lactulose. Which assessment provides the nurse with the best information to evaluate the client's therapeutic response to the drug? Which assessment provides the best information to evaluate the client's therapeutic response to the drug?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Lactulose lowers blood ammonia levels by promoting its excretion in stool, treating hepatic encephalopathy. Monitoring serum ammonia and electrolytes (due to potential loss from diarrhea) directly evaluates the drug’s effectiveness. Stool changes are expected but less specific, and hepatic enzymes or glucose are not primary indicators.
