Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client who has been taking lisinopril for several months. The nurse should plan to check which of the following laboratory values to monitor for adverse effects of the medication?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Potassium. Lisinopril is an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor that can cause hyperkalemia as a side effect. Monitoring potassium levels is essential to detect any potential adverse effects such as elevated potassium levels, which can lead to serious cardiac complications. Checking calcium (
A), sodium (
B), and magnesium (
D) levels is not directly related to lisinopril therapy. Potassium is the most pertinent parameter to monitor in this scenario.
