Question 1 of 5
Drugs do not metabolize the same way in all people. For what patient would a nurse expect to assess for an alteration in drug metabolism?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D, a 50-yr-old man with cirrhosis of the liver. Cirrhosis can impair liver function, which is the primary site for drug metabolism. Impaired liver function can alter the metabolism of drugs, leading to potential toxicity or reduced efficacy. Kidney stones (choice
A) and acute renal failure (choice
B) primarily affect kidney function, not drug metabolism. Cervical cancer (choice
C) is not directly related to drug metabolism. In summary, liver cirrhosis is the most likely condition to affect drug metabolism due to its impact on liver function.
