1. Question
Isotretinoin (Accutane) is prescribed for a client with severe acne. Before the administration of this medication, the nurse anticipates that which laboratory test will be prescribed?
CorrectAnswer & Rationale
Option 2 is correct
Rationale: Isotretinoin can elevate triglyceride levels. Blood triglyceride levels should be measured before treatment and periodically thereafter until the effect on the triglycerides has been evaluated. Options 1, 3, and 4 do not need to be monitored specifically during this treatment.
Test-Taking Strategy: Use the process of elimination. Eliminate options 3 and 4 first because a complete blood count also measures the white blood cell count. From the remaining options, recall that the medication can affect triglyceride levels in the client. Review this medication if you had difficulty with this question
