Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The most common tests performed to evaluate kidney function are blood urea nitrogen and cre-atinine.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The most common CPK enzyme test is CPK-2 (CPK-MB) which is released from the heart fol-lowing myocardial infarction. Peak levels occur sometime between 12 and 24 hr following injury. Serial CPK-2 measurements are monitored in patients with suspected myocardial infarction, as well as patients with cardiac contusion from chest trauma, open-heart surgery, or myocarditis.
