HESI Pharmacology Exam 2 Questions

Extract:


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? Reference Range: Hemoglobin (Hgb) [Reference Range: Male: 14 to 18 g/dL (8.7 to 11.2 mmol/L)]

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Epoetin alfa stimulates red blood cell production, increasing hemoglobin. A hemoglobin level of 12 g/dL indicates effective treatment of anemia, though still below the male reference range. Subjective energy improvements, iron intake, or therapy tolerance are less direct indicators of epoetin’s efficacy.
