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

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.

Option A. True.

Neurotic is a class of functional mental disorders involving distress but neither delusions nor hallucinations.
