Question 1 of 5
A client with anemia secondary to chronic kidney disease (CKD) started a prescription for epoetin alfa two months ago. Which client finding best indicates that the medication is effective?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The most direct indicator of the effectiveness of epoetin alfa is an increase in hemoglobin levels. Epoetin alfa stimulates erythropoiesis, raising hemoglobin in clients with anemia due to CKD. Monitoring hemoglobin provides objective evidence of the medication’s efficacy, unlike subjective reports or dietary changes.
