ATI RN Pharmacology 2019 Exam 6 Questions

Extract:


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: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Creatinine 2.5 mg/dL. In a client taking cyclosporine, monitoring creatinine levels is crucial as cyclosporine can cause nephrotoxicity. An elevated creatinine level indicates impaired kidney function, which can be a serious side effect of cyclosporine.


Choice A (Sodium 139 mEq/L) is within normal range and not typically affected by cyclosporine.


Choice B (BUN 18 mg/dL) measures kidney function but is not as sensitive as creatinine for detecting nephrotoxicity.


Choice D (Potassium 4.2 mEq/L) is also within normal range and not directly related to cyclosporine use.


Therefore, the nurse should report the elevated creatinine level to the provider for further evaluation and management.
