Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reviewing the medical record of a client who has been taking a medication that can cause hepatoxicity. Which of the following data should the nurse report to the provider?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) 67 units/l. ALT is an enzyme found in the liver, and elevated levels indicate liver damage, which can be a sign of hepatoxicity. The nurse should report this finding to the provider for further evaluation and management.
Choice A, HbA1C 5.9%, is a measure of long-term blood sugar control in diabetes and is not relevant to hepatoxicity.
Choice B, Albumin 3.8 g/dl, is a measure of liver function but is not specific to hepatoxicity.
Choice D, Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) 39 units/l, is another liver enzyme, but ALT is more specific to hepatotoxicity.
