Question 1 of 5
A nurse is planning care for a client with pernicious anemia. Which intervention should the nurse plan to implement?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Vitamin B injections are the correct intervention for pernicious anemia because the condition results from an inability to absorb vitamin B12 due to a lack of intrinsic factor, making injections necessary to restore vitamin levels. Blood transfusions are not a primary treatment for pernicious anemia; they may be used in severe cases but do not address the underlying cause of the condition, which is vitamin B12 deficiency. Daily hydroxyurea is primarily used to treat certain types of cancer and sickle cell disease, not pernicious anemia. Iron supplements are not effective in treating pernicious anemia, as the condition is due to a deficiency of vitamin B12, not iron.
