Question 1 of 5
The nurse is taking a health history on a 38-year-old man who is taking atorvastatin (Lipitor) for high cholesterol. What will the nurse query specifically related to the safety of this drug?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Alcohol. Atorvastatin is metabolized by the liver, as is alcohol. Consuming alcohol while taking atorvastatin can increase the risk of liver damage. The nurse should query about the man's alcohol consumption to assess potential interactions.
Choices A, B, and C do not have significant interactions with atorvastatin. Alcohol poses the most significant risk due to its impact on liver function when combined with atorvastatin.
