Anemia

Anemia ( 42 Questions)

A client with anemia presents with pale skin, fatigue, and shortness of breath. The nurse should prioritize which intervention?


Correct Answer: A

A) This choice is correct because the client is showing signs of decreased oxygen-carrying capacity due to anemia, and providing oxygen can help improve oxygen saturation levels and alleviate symptoms.

B) This choice is incorrect because pain medication does not address the underlying issue of anemia and the client's symptoms.

C) This choice is incorrect because assessing pain levels is not the priority when the client is presenting with symptoms of anemia and potential oxygen deficiency.

D) This choice is incorrect because although rest and activity balance are essential for overall well-being, they do not directly address the client's acute symptoms related to anemia.
