Question 1 of 5

A nurse is planning care for a client who requires treatment for high cholesterol. Which of the following prescriptions should the nurse expect to administer?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Colesevelam. Colesevelam is a bile acid sequestrant used to help reduce high cholesterol levels by binding to bile acids in the intestine, preventing their reabsorption. This leads to an increase in the excretion of bile acids, which in turn stimulates the liver to produce more bile acids from cholesterol, thereby lowering overall cholesterol levels.
Choice B, Chlorpromazine, is an antipsychotic medication and not used for treating high cholesterol.
Choice C, Cimetidine, is a histamine-2 blocker used for gastrointestinal issues, not high cholesterol.
Choice D, Colchicine, is used to treat gout and familial Mediterranean fever, not high cholesterol.
Therefore, the correct answer is A, as it directly targets high cholesterol levels.
