Anemia

Anemia ( 42 Questions)

A client with a history of gastric bypass surgery presents with signs of anemia. The nurse should suspect which type of anemia?


Correct Answer: B

A) This choice is incorrect because iron-deficiency anemia is more likely in clients with gastric bypass surgery due to reduced iron absorption, but it is not specific to this surgery.

B) This choice is correct. Pernicious anemia is associated with gastric bypass surgery because the procedure can lead to the loss of intrinsic factor-producing cells in the stomach, which is essential for vitamin B12 absorption.

C) This choice is incorrect because hemolytic anemia is not directly linked to gastric bypass surgery.

D) This choice is incorrect because sickle cell anemia is a genetic disorder and is not related to gastric bypass surgery.
