A client with a history of gastric bypass surgery presents with signs of anemia. The nurse should suspect which type of anemia?

A) This choice is incorrect because while blood pressure monitoring is essential for clients with chronic kidney disease, it is not specifically related to ESA therapy.

B) This choice is incorrect because serum potassium levels are important in chronic kidney disease, but they are not directly related to ESA therapy.

C) This choice is incorrect because dietary sodium intake is important in managing fluid balance in chronic kidney disease, but it is not directly related to ESA therapy.

D) This choice is correct. ESA therapy stimulates the production of red blood cells, and adequate iron levels are necessary for this process. Clients with chronic kidney disease often have decreased iron levels due to various factors, and iron supplementation is crucial for the success of ESA therapy.

Questions

B) This choice is incorrect because resistance training may require a significant amount of energy and effort, which may not be suitable for a client with anemia and symptoms of fatigue and weakness.

C) This choice is correct. Taking frequent naps throughout the day can help the client conserve energy and manage the symptoms of fatigue and weakness associated with anemia.
