Extract:
A nurse is assessing a child with iron deficiency anemia.
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following is NOT an expected finding?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Increased appetite. This is not an expected finding because increased appetite is not typically associated with the other choices which are signs of iron deficiency anemia. Pallor, tachycardia, and brittle spoon-shaped nails are common manifestations of iron deficiency anemia due to decreased oxygen-carrying capacity of red blood cells. Increased appetite is not a typical symptom of anemia and is more commonly seen in conditions like hyperthyroidism or certain psychological disorders.
Therefore, in the context of iron deficiency anemia, increased appetite would be considered an unexpected finding.
