GURANTEED
1. mother asks the nurse if her child's iron deficiency anemia is related to the

b.
Children with iron deficiency anemia are more susceptible to infection than

c.
Children with iron-deficiency anemia are less susceptible to infection than are
other children.
d.
Children with iron-deficient anemia are equally as susceptible to infection as
are other children.: d. Children with iron-deficient anemia are equally as suscepti-
ble to infection as are other children
Rationale: Children with iron-deficiency anemia are more susceptible to infection
because of marked decreases in bone marrow functioning with microcytosis
2. The clinic nurse instructs the mother of a child with sickle cell disease

activities from one time frame to another. Because iron deficiency anemia can occur
gradually and individual endurance varies, the nurse can best assess the clients
activity tolerance by asking the client to compare activities 6 months ago and at the
present
5. When discussing appropriate food choices with a patient who has iron-de-
ficiency anemia and follows a low-cholesterol diet, the nurse will encourage
