Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reviewing the laboratory results of a client who has rheumatoid arthritis and a prescription for cyclosporine. The nurse should report which of the following laboratory values to the provider?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Creatinine 1.5 mg/dL. In a client taking cyclosporine, an immunosuppressant medication, monitoring renal function is crucial due to potential nephrotoxicity. An elevated creatinine level (1.5 mg/dL) indicates impaired kidney function, which could be a side effect of cyclosporine. Reporting this to the provider is essential for further assessment and potential medication adjustment.
Choices B, C, and D are within normal ranges and do not directly relate to the potential nephrotoxic effects of cyclosporine.
