Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for an older adult client who has rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and is taking aspirin 650 mg every 4 hours. Which of the following diagnostic tests should the nurse monitor to evaluate the effectiveness of this medication?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) measures inflammation and is used to assess RA severity. A decrease in ESR indicates aspirin's effectiveness in reducing inflammation. ANA and RF are diagnostic, not monitoring, tests, and WBC count is not specific to aspirin's effects.
