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: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Hgb. Epoetin alfa is a medication used to treat anemia by stimulating red blood cell production. Monitoring the client's hemoglobin (Hgb) levels is crucial to assess the effectiveness of the medication in increasing red blood cell count. Hemoglobin reflects the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood and directly correlates with red blood cell levels. Troponin (
B), Thyroxine (T4) (
C), and Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (
D) are not relevant in monitoring the effectiveness of epoetin alfa therapy as they are related to cardiac function, thyroid function, and liver function, respectively.
