Question 1 of 5
Mrs. Oza, age 69, has hypertension and has one functioning kidney. She loves chocolates and enjoys an alcoholic beverage twice a week. Her hobby is gardening and she goes for long walks despite having arthritis. Which one of the following pieces of information is likely to have the greatest significance if she is prescribed vancomycin?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale:
Correct Answer: C - She only has one functioning kidney
Rationale:
1. Vancomycin is primarily eliminated through the kidneys.
2. With only one functioning kidney, Mrs. Oza may have impaired drug clearance, leading to potential toxicity.
3. Having hypertension or enjoying alcohol occasionally does not directly impact vancomycin metabolism.
4. Gardening and walking do not significantly affect vancomycin clearance.
5. Being outdoors for long periods does not directly influence vancomycin elimination.
