Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reviewing the laboratory findings for a female client who is taking zidovudine to treat HIV. Which of the following should the nurse identify as an adverse finding associated with this medication?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Neutrophil count 650/mm. Zidovudine can cause bone marrow suppression, leading to decreased neutrophil count (neutropenia). Neutropenia increases the risk of infections. Option B is incorrect because platelet count is within the normal range. Option C is incorrect as Hgb level is elevated, not an adverse finding with zidovudine. Option D is incorrect as creatinine level is slightly elevated but not typically associated with zidovudine.
