Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client receiving an intermittent IV bolus of gentamicin twice daily. Which of the following laboratory values should the nurse monitor while the client is receiving this medication? (Select all that apply.)

Correct Answer: C,E

Rationale: The correct answers are C: Serum creatinine and E: WBC count. Monitoring serum creatinine is important because gentamicin can cause kidney damage. Elevated creatinine levels indicate renal impairment. WBC count should be monitored because gentamicin can cause neutropenia, which is a decrease in white blood cells, leading to increased risk of infection. Glucose (
A) is not directly affected by gentamicin. Prothrombin time (
B) and cardiac enzymes (
D) are not typically affected by gentamicin. The correct monitoring for gentamicin focuses on kidney function and potential for infection.
