Question 2 of 5
A nurse is providing care to a client experiencing hematologic failure. The nurse understands that this can include which of the following? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: A,B,D
Rationale: Hematologic failure results when inadequate numbers of blood cells are produced, leading to decreased oxygen transportation, blood coagulation, or inability for the body to prevent the invasion of microorganisms, which can lead to anemia, bleeding, and infection.

After reviewing information about colony-stimulating factors, a group of nursing students demonstrate understanding of the information when they identify which of the following as true about filgrastim (Neupogen)? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: A,B,E
Rationale: Colony-stimulating factors such as filgrastim (Neupogen) are glycoproteins used to stimulate proliferation, differentiation, and maturation of leukocytes. They are used to treat chemotherapy-induced neutropenia.

Correct Answer: A,B,C
