Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has a new prescription for lisinopril. Which of the following laboratory values should the nurse monitor?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Both A and B. Lisinopril is an ACE inhibitor that can affect potassium levels and kidney function. Monitoring potassium levels is important to prevent hyperkalemia, a potential side effect of lisinopril. Creatinine levels should also be monitored as lisinopril can affect renal function. Monitoring both values allows the nurse to assess the client's kidney function and electrolyte balance. Option A (Potassium) alone is incorrect as monitoring creatinine is also necessary. Option B (Creatinine) alone is incorrect as monitoring potassium is equally important. Option D (None of the above) is incorrect as both potassium and creatinine should be monitored when a client is prescribed lisinopril.
