Question 1 of 5

The client with CRF is receiving epoetin alfa. Which finding should indicate to the nurse that the action of the medication has been effective?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: A: Epoetin alfa does not have an effect on urine output or BP. B: Epoetin alfa stimulates erythropoiesis, or the production of RBCs. It is used in treating anemias associated with decreased RBC production, such as in renal failure. Hgb and Hct are used to evaluate the medication's effectiveness. The target Hgb for the client with CRF is 12 g/dL. C: Epoetin alfa does not have an effect on BP or HR. D: The client may report increased energy and less fatigue because of the increased Hgb levels, but these findings are not used to evaluate the medication's action.
