Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client who has been taking epoetin alfa for 3 months. Which of the following laboratory tests should the nurse monitor to determine the effectiveness of the medication?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Hgb (hemoglobin). Epoetin alfa is a medication used to stimulate red blood cell production.

B) reflects thyroid function, not related to epoetin alfa therapy. Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (
