A nurse is caring for a client with rheumatoid arthritis. The nurse reviews the client's medications upon arrival to shift.
Question 1 of 5
What laboratory order does the nurse anticipates based on the list of medications in the client's profile.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The client is taking methotrexate and prednisone, both of which can affect liver function. Methotrexate, an immunosuppressive medication, can cause hepatotoxicity, and prednisone, a corticosteroid, can lead to elevated liver enzymes.
Therefore, the nurse should anticipate an order for liver function tests (LFTs) to monitor for any potential liver damage.
