Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Because mebendazole is potentially hepatotoxic, it is important to assess the hepatic enzymes AST and ALT for elevations leading to hepatic failure. The other listed laboratory values are relevant indicators of the patient's health status, but neither relates directly to the specific risks of mebendazole.

Answer to Question 2

C
