Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: Anaphylaxis is a possibility after the administration of intravenous iron dextran. Blood pressure, pulse, and respirations should be tracked.
Rationale 2: Iron dextran does not affect balance and mobility.
Rationale 3: Iron dextran does not affect level of consciousness and movement.
Rationale 4: Iron dextran does not affect temperature or muscle tone.
Global Rationale: Anaphylaxis is a possibility after the administration of intravenous iron dextran. Blood pressure, pulse, and respirations should be tracked. Iron dextran does not affect balance, mobility, level of consciousness, movement, temperature, or muscle tone.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale 1: The platelet and reticulocyte counts do not increase.
Rationale 2: The reticulocyte count does not increase.
Rationale 3: Hemoglobin and hematocrit do not increase.
Rationale 4: Filgrastim mimics endogenous CSF and promotes an increase in the total WBC and in the percentage of neutrophils.
Global Rationale: Filgrastim mimics endogenous CSF and promotes an increase in the total WBC and in the percentage of neutrophils. The platelet, reticulocyte count, hemoglobin, and hematocrit do not increase.
