The nurse is taking care for the child that has been diagnosed with acute renal failure. Which findings should the nurse expect to see in this child?

A. Thrombocytopenia: Thrombocytopenia is a condition characterized by a low platelet count, and it is not a typical feature of iron-deficiency anemia.

B. Increased Total Iron-binding Capacity: In iron-deficiency anemia, the Total Iron-binding Capacity (TIBC) is typically increased as the body attempts to compensate for the low iron levels by increasing its capacity to bind and transport iron.

C. Decreased Folate Levels: While iron-deficiency anemia and folate-deficiency anemia are both forms of anemia, decreased folate levels are more characteristic of folate-deficiency anemia, which is a separate condition.

D. Microcytic Red Blood Cells.

Iron-deficiency anemia is characterized by a decrease in the body's iron stores, which in turn affects the production of hemoglobin and red blood cells. This results in the formation of microcytic (smaller than normal) red blood cells. These smaller red blood cells are a typical finding in iron-deficiency anemia.

A. Increased pulse rate.

Iron deficiency anemia can lead to a reduced oxygen-carrying capacity in the blood. As a compensatory mechanism, the heart may pump faster to deliver more oxygen to tissues. This can result in an increased pulse rate. Children with iron deficiency anemia may also experience weakness, fatigue, and pallor.

B. Increased blood pressure is not a common symptom of iron deficiency anemia. In fact, iron deficiency anemia can often lead to lower blood pressure due to the reduced oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood.

C. Warm skin is not a typical symptom of iron deficiency anemia. Skin temperature may not be directly affected by this condition.

D. Cyanosis of the nail beds is not a symptom of iron deficiency anemia. Cyanosis refers to bluish discoloration of the skin or mucous membranes due to reduced oxygen levels in the blood, which is more commonly associated with respiratory or cardiovascular issues. Iron deficiency anemia primarily affects the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood but does not lead to cyanosis.
