1. Clotting time
2. Uric acid level
3. Potassium level
4. Blood glucose level
2. Uric acid level Rationale:
Busulfan (Myleran) can cause an increase in the uric acid level. Hyperuricemia can produce uric acid nephropathy, renal stones, and acute renal failure. Options 1, 3, and 4 are not specifically related to this medication.

1. Alopecia
2. Chest pain
3. Pulmonary fibrosis
4. Orthostatic hypotension

A side effect specific to etoposide is orthostatic hypotension. The client's blood pressure is monitored during the infusion. Hair loss occurs with nearly all the antineoplastic medications. Chest pain and pulmonary fibrosis are unrelated to this medication.
