Question 1 of 5
A nurse is teaching a class about using niacin to reduce LDL cholesterol. The nurse should include in the teaching that which of the following conditions is a contraindication for receiving this medication?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Active liver disease. Niacin can worsen liver function, hence contraindicated in active liver disease. Hyperthyroidism, asthma, and high blood pressure are not contraindications for niacin. Hyperthyroidism may even benefit from niacin's lipid-lowering effects. Asthma and high blood pressure are not directly affected by niacin.
