Question

a nurse is teaching a patient who is about to undergo allograft transplatation of the liver which statement by the patient indicates understanding of the post transplant medications?

Answer 1

This question comes related to the following options:

a."Immunosuppressants help reduce the risk of postoperative infection."

b."I will need to have periodic laboratory work to assess for toxicity."

c."I will need to take immunosuppressants until all signs of organ rejection are gone."

d."These drugs will prevent organ rejection."

Allograft transplantation or Allotransplantation is a medical procedure to provide (in this case) an organ to a recipient from a donor who is not identical genetically speaking or with a different genotype, which requires very specific considerations when it comes to prevent toxicity or organ rejection, and this requires the patient's immunosuppressants levels to be periodically checked permanently to minimize risks.

Thereby the best answer would be b.)
