Erythropoiesis-stimulating agents, such as epoetin alfa (Epogen), can cause thromboembolic events. It would be concerning if the client had limited activity because this could further increase the clientÔÇÖs risk of a thromboembolic event. B. Dark green, leafy vegetables are high in iron and help with Hgb synthesis and therefore would be beneficial. C. Eggs are high in iron, but there are other food sources high in iron that the client can consume if an aversion exists. D. A history of a thromboembolic event and use of epoetin alfa increase the clientÔÇÖs risk for another thromboembolic event. E. The use of epoetin alfa is recommended as a treatment option for clients with chemotherapy-associated anemia and an Hgb concentration that is approaching, or has fallen below, 10 g/dL, to increase the Hgb level and decrease the need for a transfusion.
