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

2
Infertility is not seen in women who are diagnosed with cystic fibrosis; therefore, a female with cystic fibrosis can transmit the disorder to her children. Infertility is common in adult men with cystic fibrosis. Pregnancy will not cause the disease to go into remission.
