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: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Hgb (Hemoglobin). Epoetin alfa is a medication used to stimulate red blood cell production. Monitoring the hemoglobin level is crucial to assess the effectiveness of the medication in increasing red blood cell count. An increase in hemoglobin indicates that the epoetin alfa is effectively stimulating red blood cell production. The other choices, such as A: ΤΑ (unknown abbreviation), C: AST (liver enzyme), and D: Troponin (cardiac marker), are not relevant for monitoring the effectiveness of epoetin alfa. Hemoglobin is the most appropriate parameter to monitor in this scenario.
