Answer to Question 1

2

Rationale: Kidney function tests should be monitored because EDTA is nephrotoxic. The cal-cium level should also be monitored because EDTA enhances the excretion of calcium. Cho-lesterol level, complete blood cell (CBC) count, and hemoglobin and hematocrit (H&H) lev-els are not the primary concern during treatment with EDTA.

Answer to Question 2

3

Rationale: Acetylcysteine (Mucomyst) is the antidote for acetaminophen (Tylenol) overdose. It is administered orally with juice or cola or via nasogastric (NG) tube. Epogen induces erythro-poiesis and is used in the treatment of anemia. Protamine sulfate is the antidote for heparin. EDTA is used in the treatment of lead poisoning.
