Answer to Question 1

Answer: D

Anemia is the most common red blood cell disorder, involving a low count and decreased hemoglobin content. Signs and symptoms of anemia can include pallor of the skin and mucous membranes and dyspnea on exertion. Polycythemia is an abnormally high RBC count. Herpes simplex is not a red blood cell disorder; erythropoiesis is the term for RBC production.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: C

Adequate nutrition is necessary to prevent the buildup of acids in the blood. Incorrect administration of medication could cause a metabolic problem in the client with diabetes. The use of laxatives could cause diarrhea, which can lead to metabolic acidosis. Ingestion of high amounts of salicylate acid can lead to toxicity and the development of metabolic acidosis.
