Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
For all patients, treatment with pegfilgrastim consists of one 6-mg dose injected subcutaneously 24 hours after each round of chemotherapy.
Administration of filgrastim, darbepoetin, and sargramostim is based on individual doses according to the disease process.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Sargramostim, a GM-CSF, acts on cells in the bone marrow to increase production of neutrophils, monocytes, macrophages, and eosinophils.
Darbepoetin, pegfilgrastim, and erythropoietin do not have this property.
