Ans: A
Feedback:
Myopathy with elevated creatine phosphokinase (CPK) levels may occur if daptomycin is administered with statin drugs (cholesterol reduction). Therefore, the nurse would assess CPK levels. The combination of statin therapy and daptomycin has no effect on blood glucose levels, white blood count, or international normalized ratio (INR).
