Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
When administering darbepoetin and epoetin, an adequate intake of iron is required for drug effectiveness and an iron supplement is usually necessary. It is not necessary to provide the patient with potassium supplements, restrict sodium, or place the patient on renal dialysis.

A
Feedback:
Autoimmune diseases may be caused by viral alteration of host cells so that lymphocytes recognize the host's own tissues as being foreign.
