Hi Everyone!
I am a student RN and went to my 2nd clinical yesterday at my local nursing facility.
My patient had last stages of Alzheimer's, seizures, DM II, full contractures, incontinence, etc.
I am currently looking at all the info I gathered and I see that her Valproic Acid level was down quite a considerable amount during one of her recent hepatic function panel testings. She is on Depakote 250 mg bid. Will this affect her V.acid levels?? Is it due to the DM II as well?
I have searched the net and my diagnostic lab manual, but can't find any decent ground info. I would SO appreciate any help!
Thank you SO much!
