Question 1 of 5

A patient started propylthiouracil therapy a month ago and is here for a follow-up lab test (results shown below). Which lab value should the nurse be most concerned about?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: White blood cell count. Propylthiouracil is known to cause agranulocytosis, a serious condition characterized by a significant decrease in white blood cell count. This places the patient at high risk for infections. Monitoring the white blood cell count is crucial to detect this potentially life-threatening side effect early. The other choices (A, C,
D) are not directly associated with propylthiouracil therapy or are not as urgent in the context of this medication.
