b) Adding more blood back into the body
c) Increasing the amount of white blood cells
d) Reversing it by treating the underlying cause - d) Reversing it by treating the underlying cause

adequately address anemia.

The nurse is caring for an infant with iron deficiency anemia who is overweight. Why does this concern
the nurse?
a) The infant will become at risk for diabetes.
b) The infant may be getting more milk than other foods.
c) The parents are overfeeding the infant with solid foods.
d) Infants with iron-deficiency anemia should be underweight. - b) The infant may be getting more milk
than other foods.
Rationale
, When an infant with iron deficiency anemia is overweight, this may indicate that large amounts of milk
are provided, perhaps almost to the exclusion of solid foods. This means the child is not getting his or her
nutritional needs met. The parents are likely not overfeeding the infant with solid foods if the infant has
iron-deficiency anemia. The infant may or may not become at risk for diabetes, but the nurse cannot
know this for sure. Infants with iron deficiency anemia are not necessarily underweight, though many of
them are.

The nurse assesses an infant with sickle cell anemia (SCA). Which clinical manifestations alert the nurse

a) Painful joints
b) Growth restriction
c) Visual disturbances
d) Pulmonary insufficiency
e) Swollen hands and feet - a) Painful joints
c) Visual disturbances
e) Swollen hands and feet
Rationale
Swollen hands and feet, visual disturbances, and painful joints are clinical manifestations of a vaso-
occlusive crisis. Possible growth restriction is a general clinical manifestation of SCA but not of vaso-
occlusive crisis. Pulmonary insufficiency is a clinical manifestation of chronic vaso-occlusive phenomena,
not a crisis.
