4-year-old child with meningitis receiving gentamicin


Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a 4-year-old child who has meningitis and is receiving gentamicin. Which of the following laboratory values should the nurse report to the provider?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Creatinine 4 mg/dL. Gentamicin is known to be nephrotoxic and can lead to kidney damage. An elevated creatinine level indicates impaired kidney function, which is a serious concern in a patient receiving gentamicin. Creatinine levels should be closely monitored to prevent further kidney damage.

Choices B, C, and D all have normal values for creatinine and BUN, which do not indicate any immediate issues.
Therefore, they do not require urgent reporting.
