Answer to Question 1

C, D, E
Feedback:
Patients who are no longer able to produce enough erythropoietin in the kidneys may benefit from treatment with exogenous erythropoietin (EPO), which is available as the drugs epoetin alfa (Epogen, Procrit), darbepoetin alfa (Aranesp), and methoxy polyethylene glycol-epoetin beta (Mircera). Both darbepoetin alfa and methoxy polyethylene glycol-epoetin beta are approved to treat anemias associated with chronic renal failure, including patients receiving dialysis. Levoleucovorin and hydroxocobalamin are not erythropoiesis-stimulating agents.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Adverse effects include drowsiness, fatigue, restlessness, extrapyramidal symptoms, and diarrhea. The other statements are incorrect and would tell the nurse that this patient does not understand the teaching about this drug.
