Anemia

Anemia ( 42 Questions)

A client with anemia complains of fatigue and weakness. Which additional assessment finding is commonly associated with this condition?


Correct Answer: B

A) This choice is incorrect because anemia is not directly associated with elevated blood pressure. In fact, low blood pressure may be observed in some individuals with anemia due to decreased blood volume.

B) This choice is correct. Anemia leads to decreased oxygen-carrying capacity in the blood, and the body compensates by increasing the heart rate to supply more oxygen to vital organs and tissues.

C) This choice is incorrect because excessive thirst is not a typical symptom of anemia.

D) This choice is incorrect because anemia is more likely to cause a decreased appetite rather than an increased appetite.
