Anemia

Anemia ( 42 Questions)

A nurse is assessing a client with anemia. Which of the following symptoms is most commonly associated with anemia?


Correct Answer: C

A) This choice is incorrect because polyuria, or increased urination, is not a common symptom of anemia. It may be associated with other conditions like diabetes.

B) This choice is incorrect because increased appetite is not typically associated with anemia. In fact, some clients with anemia may have a reduced appetite due to fatigue and weakness.

C) This choice is correct. Anemia leads to decreased oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood, which can result in shortness of breath, especially during physical exertion.

D) This choice is incorrect because anemia causes fatigue and decreased energy levels, not increased energy levels.
