Answer to Question 1

3
Treatment for moderate anemia in the client receiving chemotherapy for cancer would include the administration of epoetin alfa as prescribed. This medication elevates hemoglobin levels and improves the quality of life for clients. The other choices would be appropriate for the client diagnosed with neutropenia and not anemia.

Answer to Question 2
