Correct Answer is D

Explanation

A. Milk and cheese are low in iron content and are not recommended for increasing iron levels in clients with iron-deficiency anemia.

B. Whole grain breads may contain some iron but are not as high in iron as other food sources.

C. Fresh fruits do not provide significant amounts of iron and are not a good source for addressing iron deficiency.

D. Red meat and organ meat are excellent sources of heme iron, which is more easily absorbed by the body compared to non-heme iron found in plant sources, making them the best choice for increasing iron intake in clients with iron-deficiency anemia.

A. "You are not taking deep breaths, and that is causing your pain." B. "Your red blood cells are not the correct shape, and that causes blood flow to become blocked." C. "You have a genetic disorder, and the mutated gene causes increased pain." D. "You are anemic, and the lack of hemoglobin causes pain."

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

A. While deep breathing can help alleviate pain, it is not the primary cause of pain in sickle cell anemia; this response could minimize the client's experience.

B. Sickle cell anemia causes red blood cells to become rigid and shaped like a sickle, which can obstruct blood flow and lead to vaso-occlusive crises, resulting in pain.

C. Although sickle cell anemia is a genetic disorder, simply stating that the mutated gene causes increased pain is too vague and does not explain the pain mechanism adequately.

D. While anemia can contribute to fatigue and some discomfort, the pain in sickle cell anemia is primarily due to the sickling of red blood cells and subsequent blockage of blood flow, rather than just the lack of hemoglobin.
