Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is scheduled to have his alanine aminotransferase (ALT) level checked. The client asks the nurse to explain the laboratory test. Which of the following is an appropriate response by the nurse?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C. Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) is an enzyme found in the liver. Elevated levels of ALT in the blood indicate liver damage or disease.
Therefore, this test provides information about the function of the liver. Option A is incorrect because ALT is not related to kidney function. Option B is incorrect as ALT does not assess heart function. Option D is incorrect as ALT is not used to determine the risk of blood clots.
