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: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C:
Total bilirubin 1.5 mg/dL. Amitriptyline can cause hepatotoxicity, leading to elevated liver enzymes and bilirubin levels. Elevated bilirubin indicates potential liver damage, so the nurse should report this to the provider for further evaluation.
Incorrect choices:
A: Hct 44% - This is within the normal range and not directly related to amitriptyline use.
B: WBC count 5,000/mm3 - This is within the normal range and not typically affected by amitriptyline.
D: Potassium 4.2 mEq/L - This is within the normal range and not a common concern with amitriptyline use.
In summary, the nurse should report the total bilirubin level as it is indicative of potential liver damage, whereas the other values are within normal limits and not typically affected by amitriptyline.
