NURS 315: Chapter 34 Part 1 UPDATED ACTUAL Questions
and CORRECT Answers
1. Flat and irregular bones In which type of bones does hematopoiesis take place?
2. Oxyhemoglobin Hemoglobin combined with oxygen.
3. Anemia It occurs when there is a reduction in oxygen carrying capacity
through either fewer RBCs or a reduction in hemoglobin.
4. Thymus A gland behind the sternum that produces T lymphocytes. It
shrinks with age and helps remove phagocytized pathogens
and foreign materials.
5. Lymph It is formed from plasma that is filtered by the blood capillaries
and flows through the lymph vessels and lymph nodes.
6. Cervical, axillary, inguinal Where are the three major areas of superficial lymph nodes?
7. Serotonin Platelets release this when a blood vessel is damaged and
vasoconstriction is needed?
8. Iron deficiency anemia The most prevalent nutritional deficiency in the world that fre-
quently affects more women than men. Inadequate intake is the
most common cause.
9. Iron deficiency anemia It can result in pica- the craving and ingestion of non-nutritive
substances like paint, dirt, clay, or ice.
10. Iron deficiency anemia It results when the body has depleted its stores of ferritin in the
liver.
11. Iron deficiency anemia Glossitis and koilonychia is associated with what?
12. Decreased hemoglobin levels Why would a patient with iron deficiency anemia suffer from
inadequate tissue perfusion/ hypoxia?
13.

deficiency
14. Vitamin C What could you give a patient with iron deficiency anemia to
help increase absorption of iron?
15. Calcium What should patients with iron deficiency anemia avoid be-
cause it decreases iron absorption?
16. Inadequate tissue perfusion What is an appropriate nursing diagnosis for a patient with iron
deficiency anemia?
17. Intrinsic factor It is needed for the body to absorb B12 and is secreted by the
stomach. A lack of it results in pernicious anemia.
18. Vitamin B12 It is needed for normal functioning of the central nervous sys-
tem, formation of red blood cells, and synthesis of DNA.
19. Vitamin B12 anemia Peripheral neuropathy, spinal cord degeneration, altered men-
tal status, visual disturbances, tingling feeling in hands and feet
along with general anemia s/s are associated with what?
20. Vitamin B12 anemia Lhermitte's sign and Schilling's test is associated with what?
21. There is a decreased produc- Why are the general signs of anemia (tachycardia, pallor, fa-
tion of RBCs due to the impair- tigue) seen in B12 anemia?
