Question 1 of 5

A nurse is reviewing the lab work of a client on a medical-surgical unit who has a new prescription for captopril. Which of the following laboratory values should the nurse identify as the priority to monitor?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Potassium. When a client is prescribed captopril, an ACE inhibitor, the nurse should closely monitor potassium levels as ACE inhibitors can cause hyperkalemia. Hyperkalemia can lead to serious cardiac complications such as arrhythmias. Monitoring potassium levels is crucial to prevent potential life-threatening events. Alanine aminotransferase (choice
A) is not directly affected by captopril. Thyroid-stimulating hormone (choice
B) is not typically monitored when starting captopril. Magnesium (choice
D) is not the priority lab value to monitor compared to potassium when starting captopril.
