Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Malabsorption syndromes such as Crohn's disease leave a client prone to folic acid deficiency. Fanconi's anemia, hemolytic anemia, and vitamin B12 anemia are not related to Crohn's disease.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
This client has laboratory findings indicative of iron deficiency anemia. The most common cause of this disorder is blood loss, often from the GI tract. The nurse should perform a Hemoccult test on the client's stools. High-protein foods may help the condition, but dietary interventions take time to work. That still does not determine the cause. Frequent oral care is not related. Cobalamin injections are for pernicious anemia.
