Answer to Question 1

d

Answer to Question 2

C
Tacrine carries a high risk of serious liver injury. Damage is monitored by assessing the serum for elevations in alanine aminotransferase, an enzyme released from liver cells when they are injured.
Tacrine is not nephrotoxic, thus monitoring of the blood urea nitrogen is not necessary.
Tacrine is not nephrotoxic, thus monitoring of 24-hour creatinine clearance results is not neces-sary.
Blood dyscrasias are not caused by tacrine, thus monitoring of a complete blood count with dif-ferential is not necessary.
