Question 1 of 5

The nurse has just admitted a 35-year-old female client who has a serum vitamin B12 concentration of 800 pg/mL. Which of the following laboratory findings should cue the nurse to focus the client history assessment on specific drug or alcohol use?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: A serum vitamin B12 level of 800 pg/mL is within the normal range (200–900 pg/mL), but a folate level of 1.5 ng/mL is low (normal: 2.7–17 ng/mL). Low folate levels can be associated with chronic alcohol use, as alcohol impairs folate absorption and metabolism. The nurse should assess the client's history for alcohol use, as this may contribute to the folate deficiency. The other lab values (bilirubin, creatinine, hemoglobin) are normal and do not suggest drug or alcohol use.
