Explanation

Choice A rationale:

Nicotine transdermal system is not known to have a significant interaction with carbamazepine.

Choice B rationale:

Beclomethasone is not known to have a significant interaction with carbamazepine.

Choice C rationale:

Carbamazepine can induce the metabolism of estrogen and progestin, potentially reducing their effectiveness in birth control. Women taking these combinations should use alternative contraceptive methods.

Choice D rationale:

Diphenhydramine is not known to have a significant interaction with carbamazepine.

A. BUN 16 mg/dL B. Potassium 5.3 mEq/L C. Sodium 142 mEq/L D. Albumin 4 g/dL

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

Choice A rationale:

A BUN level of 16 mg/dL is within a normal range.

Choice B rationale:

A potassium level of 5.3 mEq/L is higher than the normal range (typically 3.5-5.0 mEq/L). Triamterene is a potassium-sparing diuretic, and if the client's potassium level is already elevated, it should be withheld to prevent hyperkalemia.

Choice C rationale:

A sodium level of 142 mEq/L is within a normal range.

Choice D rationale:

An albumin level of 4 g/dL is within a normal range.
