An accurate description of anemia is:
A. Increased blood viscosity.
B. Depressed hematopoietic system.
C. Presence of abnormal hemoglobin.
* D. Decreased oxygen-carrying capacity of blood.
Correct Answer: D
Explanation/Rationale:
ANS: D
Anemia is a condition in which the number of red blood cells or hemoglobin concentration is
reduced below the normal values for age. This results in a decreased oxygen-carrying capacity of
blood. Increased blood viscosity is usually a function of too many cells or of dehydration, not of
anemia. A depressed hematopoietic system or abnormal hemoglobin can contribute to anemia,
but the definition depends on the deceased oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood.

Several blood tests are ordered for a preschool child with severe anemia. She is crying and upset
because she remembers the venipuncture done at the clinic 2 days ago. The nurse should explain
that:A. Venipuncture discomfort is very brief.
B. Only one venipuncture will be needed.
* C. Topical application of local anesthetic can eliminate venipuncture pain.
D. Most blood tests on children require only a finger puncture because a small amount of blood is
needed.
Correct Answer: C
Explanation/Rationale:
ANS: C
Preschool children are very concerned about both pain and the loss of blood. When preparing the
child for venipuncture, a topical anesthetic will be used to eliminate any pain. This is a very
traumatic experience for preschool children. They are concerned about their bodily integrity. A
local anesthetic should be used, and a bandage should be applied to maintain bodily integrity. A
promise that only one venipuncture will be needed should not be made in case multiple attempts
are required. Both finger punctures and venipunctures are traumatic for children. Both require
preparation.

A school-age child is admitted in vaso-occlusive sickle cell crisis. The child’s care should include:
A. Correction of acidosis.
* B. Adequate hydration and pain management.
C. Pain management and administration of heparin.
D. Adequate oxygenation and replacement of factor VIII.
Correct Answer: B
Explanation/Rationale:
ANS: B
The management of crises includes adequate hydration, minimizing energy expenditures, pain
management, electrolyte replacement, and blood component therapy if indicated. The acidosis
will be corrected as the crisis is treated. Heparin and factor VIII are not indicated in the treatment
of vaso-occlusive sickle cell crisis. Oxygen may prevent further sickling, but it is not effective in
reversing sickling because it cannot reach the clogged blood vessels.
