Question 1 of 5
The nurse evaluates a client's response to the prescribed atorvastatin. Which finding indicates an expected outcome?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Low density lipoprotein (LDL) 90 mg/dL. This indicates an expected outcome because atorvastatin is a medication used to lower LDL cholesterol levels. A LDL level of 90 mg/dL falls within the recommended range for cardiovascular health.
Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not directly relate to the expected outcome of atorvastatin therapy.
Total cholesterol of 198 mg/dL may still be high, serum albumin is not a marker for atorvastatin response, and ALT level of 25 units/L is within normal range but does not specifically indicate the effectiveness of atorvastatin in lowering LDL cholesterol.
