Answer to Question 1

Awesome help, super fast

Answer to Question 2

C
If the neutrophil count drops below 1500/mm3, the nurse should withhold the dose and notify the prescriber. An ALT 1.5 times the upper limit and an alkaline phosphatase 2.5 times the upper limit are concerning. The creatinine clearance is not a concern.
