Extract:


Question 1 of 5

A nurse is reviewing the medical record of a client who reports drinking three to four glasses of wine each night and taking 3,000 mg of acetaminophen daily. Which of the following laboratory values is the priority for the nurse to assess?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Aspartate aminotransferase (AST). The nurse should prioritize assessing AST because both alcohol consumption and acetaminophen use can lead to liver damage. Elevated AST levels indicate liver injury, making it crucial to monitor for potential hepatotoxicity in this client. Creatinine (choice
A) is typically assessed to evaluate kidney function, not directly related to alcohol or acetaminophen use. Amylase (choice
C) is an enzyme related to pancreas health, not specifically affected by alcohol or acetaminophen. Antidiuretic hormone (ADH - choice
D) is related to fluid balance, not a priority in this scenario. By focusing on AST, the nurse can promptly identify any liver damage and intervene accordingly.
