Question 1 of 5

The nurse is caring for a client who has been diagnosed with tuberculosis. The client is receiving 600 mg of oral rifampin daily. Which laboratory finding would indicate to the nurse that the client is experiencing an adverse effect?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Adverse or toxic effects of rifampin include hepatotoxicity, hepatitis, jaundice, blood dyscrasias, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, and antibiotic-related colitis. The nurse monitors for increased liver function, bilirubin, blood urea nitrogen, and uric acid levels because elevations indicate an adverse effect. The normal ALT level is 4 to 36 U/L (4 to 36 U/L). The normal total bilirubin level is 0.3 to 1.0 mg/dL (5.1 to 17 mcmol/L). The normal sedimentation rate is 0 to 30 mm/hour. A normal white blood cell count is 5000 to 10,000 mm^3 (5 to 10 × 10^9/L).
