Final answer:

Erythropoietin is crucial for red blood cell production in CKD clients. Reporting flu-like symptoms necessitates notifying the health-care provider.


Explanation:

Erythropoietin (EPO) is a hormone produced by the kidneys that stimulates the production of red blood cells. In a client with chronic kidney disease (CKD), the need to notify the health-care provider would arise if the client reports flu-like symptoms because it could indicate a potential adverse reaction to the erythropoietin therapy.
