Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2, 3
Rationale 1: Risk for Constipation is not a priority nursing diagnosis for this client.
Rationale 2: The client's diet might be missing iron in iron-deficiency anemia.
Rationale 3: Hemoglobin is carried on erythrocytes and is responsible for transporting oxygen to the tissues.
Rationale 4: Knowledge Deficient might exist, but it is not the priority nursing diagnosis.
Global Rationale: Hemoglobin is carried on erythrocytes and is responsible for transporting oxygen to the tissues; therefore, Risk for Impaired Tissue Perfusion is a priority nursing diagnosis. The other diagnoses may be pertinent but they are not the priority for this client.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: Renin is not responsible for erythrocyte production.
Rationale 2: Angiotensin is the precursor for angiotensin II and is not involved in erythrocyte production.
Rationale 3: Erythrocyte homeostasis is controlled by erythropoietin, a hormone secreted by the kidney in response to low oxygen levels in the blood.
Rationale 4: Aldosterone is not responsible for erythrocyte production.
Global Rationale: Erythrocyte homeostasis is controlled by erythropoietin, a hormone secreted by the kidney in response to low oxygen levels in the blood. Renin is not responsible for erythrocyte production. Angiotensin is the precursor for angiotensin II and is not involved in erythrocyte production. Aldosterone is not responsible for erythrocyte production.

Anesthesia awareness is a potentially disturbing adverse effect wherein patients who have been paralyzed with muscle relaxants may awaken.
