Rationale 1: Dantrolene (Dantrium) does not significantly affect renal function; the creatinine clearance test isn't a priority laboratory test to assess. Rationale 2: Dantrolene (Dantrium) does not affect pancreatic function; the serum amylase isn't a priority laboratory test to assess. Rationale 3: Dantrolene (Dantrium) does not affect hemoglobin or hematocrit; these laboratory tests are not a priority to assess. Rationale 4: Dantrolene (Dantrium) can cause hepatitis; the aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) are the priority laboratory tests for the nurse to assess.
