Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has a fungal infection and has a new prescription for amphotericin B. Which of the following laboratory values should the nurse report to the provider before initiating the medication?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: BUN 55 mg/dL. Amphotericin B can cause nephrotoxicity, leading to impaired kidney function. Elevated BUN levels indicate potential kidney damage, so the nurse should report this value to the provider before initiating the medication.
A: Sodium level within normal range, not a priority.
C: Potassium level within normal range, not a priority.
D: Glucose level within normal range, not a priority.
In summary, BUN is the most relevant value to monitor due to the potential nephrotoxicity of amphotericin B.
