ATI RN Pharmacology Proctored Exam Questions

Extract:


Question 1 of 5

A nurse is reviewing the laboratory values of a client who is taking atorvastatin. Which of the following laboratory values indicates the treatment has been effective?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: LDL 120 mg/dL. Atorvastatin is a medication used to lower LDL cholesterol levels. A decrease in LDL levels indicates the effectiveness of the treatment in reducing the risk of cardiovascular events. BUN, blood glucose, and urine specific gravity are not directly related to the effectiveness of atorvastatin in lowering cholesterol levels. BUN reflects kidney function, blood glucose monitors glucose levels, and urine specific gravity indicates hydration status.
Therefore, D is the best indicator of treatment effectiveness.
