Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
The nurse should instruct the client to use only a soft toothbrush. The nurse should take preventive measures against constipation instead of diarrhea. Increasing the dietary iron uptake and instructing the client about cyanocobalamin injections are nursing care measures specifically followed in clients with pernicious anemia, not in clients with leukemia.

Answer to Question 2

B
