Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, C, D, E
Premedication assessment for ranolazine (Ranexa) includes assessment of results of electrocardiography; renal function tests such as BUN, serum creatinine, and electrolyte levels; and CBC. These results will serve as a baseline for future comparison.

Anxiety level is a component of assessing the CNS. History of smoking is included when assessing the cardiovascular system. Diet is included when assessing nutritional history. Heart rate is included when assessing the cardiovascular system.
