Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reviewing laboratory findings for a client who is taking valproic acid. Which of the following results should the nurse report to the provider?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: ALT 65 units/L. Elevated ALT levels indicate potential liver damage, a known side effect of valproic acid. The nurse should report this to the provider for further evaluation. Platelets, AST, and WBC levels are within normal ranges, so they do not require immediate reporting. In summary, the correct answer is focused on a potential serious side effect related to the medication, while the other choices are not directly linked to valproic acid or indicate normal laboratory values.
