The client receives epoetin alfa (Epogen) subcutaneously, and says to the nurse, My doctor said I have anemia. Are there little red blood cells in that shot? What are the best responses by the nurse?
 
  1. Your kidney makes more erythropoietin if it doesn't get enough oxygen.
  2. Erythropoietin also helps your body make hemoglobin.
  3. This stimulates your kidney to make more red blood cells.
  4. It is similar to a kidney hormone, erythropoietin, and helps your body make more red blood cells.
  5. Your kidney makes more erythropoietin when you have too much fluid in your body.
