    A nurse is caring for a client who has chemotherapy-induced anemia. The nurse should expect to administer which of the following medications to treat the anemia?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Sargramostim is a granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) used to stimulate the production of white blood cells but is not specifically indicated for anemia. B. Filgrastim is a granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) that increases white blood cell counts and is not used for treating anemia. C. Epoetin is an erythropoiesis-stimulating agent that stimulates red blood cell production, making it the appropriate choice for treating chemotherapy-induced anemia. D. Romiplostim is a thrombopoietin receptor agonist used to treat thrombocytopenia (low platelet count) and is not indicated for anemia.
