ATI N120n122 Med Surg Exam Questions

Extract:


Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client who has chronic renal disease and is taking epoetin alfa (Procrit). Which laboratory result would be used to assess the effectiveness of this medication?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Red blood cells (RB
C) and hemoglobin (Hg) levels are directly affected by epoetin alfa, which stimulates red blood cell production in the bone marrow, making these values essential for assessing the medication's effectiveness. The leukocyte count (WB
C) is not relevant to the effects of epoetin alfa, as this medication primarily influences erythropoiesis. The erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) is a non-specific test used to detect inflammation but does not provide information regarding the effectiveness of epoetin alfa. The thrombocyte count does not assess the effectiveness of epoetin alfa.
