Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reviewing the laboratory data of a client prior to administering IV tobramycin. Which of the following laboratory values should the report to the provider?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Creatinine 2.5 mg/dL. Elevated creatinine levels can indicate impaired kidney function, which is crucial for tobramycin excretion. The nurse should report this to the provider because tobramycin is primarily excreted by the kidneys, and high creatinine levels may result in tobramycin accumulation, leading to toxicity.
A, B, and C are within normal ranges and do not directly impact tobramycin administration. Sodium level (choice
A) is not relevant for tobramycin administration. Hemoglobin (choice
B) and hematocrit (choice
C) are indicators of anemia, which are not directly related to tobramycin administration.
Therefore, the nurse should focus on the creatinine level to ensure safe administration of tobramycin.
