Correct Answer: A,C,D,F
Rationale: For IV erythropoietin therapy, the nurse should check hemoglobin levels to monitor response and prevent overcorrection, keep multidose vials refrigerated to maintain stability, administer without mixing with other medications to avoid interactions, and educate about avoiding hazardous activities due to potential side effects like dizziness. Shaking the vial can denature the protein, and dose adjustments are typically based on hematologic response, not blood pressure.
