Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client who has chronic renal disease and is receiving therapy with epoetin alfa. Which of the following laboratory results should the nurse review for an indication of a therapeutic effect of the medication?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale:
Rationale: The correct answer is A: The hematocrit (Hct). Epoetin alfa is a medication used to stimulate red blood cell production in patients with renal disease. Monitoring the hematocrit levels helps assess the medication's effectiveness in increasing red blood cell count. Hematocrit measures the percentage of blood volume occupied by red blood cells. An increase in hematocrit indicates improved red blood cell production, indicating a therapeutic effect.

Incorrect

Choices:
B: The erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) is a marker of inflammation, not related to the therapeutic effect of epoetin alfa.
C: The leukocyte count measures white blood cells, not relevant for monitoring the effects of epoetin alfa.
D: The platelet count assesses clotting ability, not indicative of the therapeutic effect of epoetin alfa.
