Answer:

A. Contact the provider to discuss an order for pretreatment laboratory work.

Explanation:

The drug manual indicates that this drug should be given with caution to elderly patients. Getting information about liver function before giving the drug establishes baseline data that can be compared with post-treatment data to determine whether the drug is affecting the liver. Giving the correct dose at the correct interval helps to minimize risk, but without baseline information, the effects cannot be determined. The drug is not contraindicated.

You are going to play a basketball game. Describe warm-up and cool-down techniques that would be appropriate for this activity.
love history [14]
A good warm up before playing in a basketball game would be to stretch and maybe run in place a little to get the blood pumping before you hit the court. You definitely do NOT want to go into the game with cold muscles because you are most likely to get injured that way, plus you won’t be able to be your best in the game.
A good cool down technique would be to drink some cold water and maybe walk around a bit. You don’t want to gorge yourself on water because you can make yourself sick but a couple of cold sips of water and a little walking by around will gradually calm your body down without hurting it or causing it to go into a shock.
I hope this helped! :-)
