Question 1 of 5
A nurse is planning care for a client who has pernicious anemia. Which of the following interventions should the nurse plan to implement?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Vitamin B12 injections. Pernicious anemia is caused by a lack of intrinsic factor necessary for Vitamin B12 absorption. Vitamin B12 injections bypass the need for intrinsic factor, ensuring the client receives an adequate amount of the vitamin. Iron supplements (
B) are not effective in treating pernicious anemia as it is not related to iron deficiency. Vitamin B supplements (
A) may not be absorbed effectively due to the lack of intrinsic factor. Blood transfusions (
D) may be used for severe cases of anemia, but they do not address the underlying Vitamin B12 deficiency in pernicious anemia.
