Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reviewing the laboratory results of a client who is taking amitriptyline. Which of the following laboratory values should the nurse report to the provider?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Potassium 5.2 mEq/L. Amitriptyline can cause side effects such as electrolyte imbalances, including hyperkalemia. A potassium level of 5.2 mEq/L is elevated and should be reported to the provider for further evaluation and management. The other options, A, B, and C, are within normal ranges and do not typically require immediate reporting. A low WBC count, normal total bilirubin level, and hematocrit of 44% are not directly associated with amitriptyline use and are not concerning in this context.
