A. Liver enzyme levels
B. Blood urea nitrogen (BUN) level
C. Serum electrolyte levels
D. Complete blood count (CBC) - ANSWER-A. Liver
enzyme levels
The client receiving isoniazid is at risk for the development
of hepatitis; therefore, liver function test results should be

is at an increased risk of adverse reactions because of the
complex medication regimens and complications
secondary to immunosuppression.
