Question 1 of 5
The patient asks the nurse what atorvastatin (Lipitor) newly prescribed will do. What's the expected outcome the nurse will describe?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because atorvastatin works by inhibiting the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase, leading to a decrease in serum cholesterol and LDL levels. This is the expected outcome that the nurse will describe to the patient.
Choice A is incorrect because sitosterol is not primarily targeted by atorvastatin.
Choice B is incorrect as campesterol is not a main focus of atorvastatin.
Choice D is incorrect because atorvastatin also targets LDL levels, not just serum cholesterol.
