Question 1 of 5

Which of the following is administered to increase the number of circulating red blood cells?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Epoetin alfa (Procrit). Epoetin alfa is a synthetic form of erythropoietin, a hormone that stimulates the production of red blood cells in the bone marrow. By administering epoetin alfa, the number of circulating red blood cells can be increased, making it an effective treatment for anemia.
A: Oprelvekin (Neumega) is a thrombopoietin agonist used to stimulate platelet production, not red blood cells.
C: Clopidogrel (Plavix) is an antiplatelet medication used to prevent blood clots, unrelated to red blood cell production.
D: Filgrastim (Neupogen) is a granulocyte colony-stimulating factor used to increase white blood cell production, not red blood cells.
