Question 1 of 5
The mean cell volume of the patient is 90 fl and the reticulocyte production index is low. Which of the following is the most possible cause of anemia in this patient?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: A mean cell volume (MCV) of 90 fL indicates normocytic anemia, and a low reticulocyte production index suggests bone marrow failure. Aplastic anemia fits this profile as it causes reduced production of all cell lines, unlike the others which typically alter MCV (e.g., microcytic in iron deficiency, macrocytic in B12 deficiency).
