Which lab test(s) would be used to assess liver and/or renal function before administering medications? (Select one that does not apply.)

  • A. CBC
  • B. LDH
  • C. ALT
  • D. Crs
Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Liver function tests include LDH (lactic dehydrogenase) and ALT (alanine aminotransferase). Renal function tests include Crs (serum creatinine) and BUN (blood urea nitrogen). Although a CBC (complete blood count) and an aPTT are useful in assessing the patient before administration of medication, they are not renal or hepatic function tests.
