Apatient will be taking amiodarone [cordarone]. which baseline tests are necessary before this medication is started? (select all that apply.)

Upon researching, I believe the choices are:

A. Chest radiograph and pulmonary function tests
B. Complete blood count with differential
C. Ophthalmologic examination
D. Renal function tests
E. Thyroid function tests

Among these, the baseline tests necessary for the patient before taking the medication are: A. Chest radiograph and pulmonary function tests, C. Ophthalmologic examination, and E. Thyroid function tests. This is because Amiodarone has several possible toxic side effects. Some of these are thyroid toxicity, opthalmic effects, and pulmonary toxicity. Thus, it is necessary to first know the baseline of the patient for these systems and then checking if the results have deviated much after he/she takes the medication.
