Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Both darbepoetin alfa and methoxy polyethylene glycol-epoetin beta are approved to treat forms of anemia associated with chronic renal failure, including in patients receiving dialysis. Ferrous sulfate exsiccated is used to treat iron deficiency. Levoleucovorin is administered to diminish toxicity and counteract the effects of impaired methotrexate elimination and of inadvertent overdose of folic acid antagonists after high-dose methotrexate therapy for osteosarcoma. Hydroxyurea is used to reduce the frequency of painful sickle cell crises and to decrease the need for blood transfusions in adults with sickle cell anemia.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Metoclopramide is indicated for treatment of nausea and vomiting, especially related to chemical stimulation of the chemoreceptor trigger zone in adults. It does not have a pediatric dose for use as an antiemetic. Options A, B, and D are not correct.
