Question 1 of 5
A nurse is teaching a client who has a new diagnosis of aplastic anemia. Which of the following information should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Aplastic anemia results from decreased bone marrow production of RBCs. In aplastic anemia, the bone marrow fails to produce enough red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. This leads to pancytopenia, a reduction in all blood cell types. Options A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the pathophysiology of aplastic anemia. Increased rate of RBC destruction (
A) is seen in hemolytic anemias, decreased intake of iron (
B) is associated with iron-deficiency anemia, and inability to absorb vitamin B12 (
D) is characteristic of pernicious anemia, not aplastic anemia.
