Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: Folic acid is not primary therapy in the management of kidney-failure anemia, which responds better to epoetin alfa.
Rationale 2: Folic acid is not useful in the management of chronic heart failure. However, folic acid might be ordered for another reason related to its effects on long-term vascular health.
Rationale 3: Folic acidrelated anemia is usually associated with poor nutrition. Ethanol interferes with folate metabolism in the liver, and the alcoholic's diet is often low in the nutrient.
Rationale 4: Folic acid is not useful in the management of type 2 diabetes.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2,5
Rationale 1: Iron deficiency anemia results in microcytic-hypochromic red blood cells.
Rationale 2: Hemorrhagic anemia results in normocytic-normochromic red blood cells.
Rationale 3: Pernicious anemia can result from inadequate B12 intake, which can occur in a client on a strict vegetarian diet. Pernicious anemia results in macrocytic-normochromic red blood cells.
Rationale 4: Folate deficiency results in macrocytic-normochromic red blood cells.
Rationale 5: Exposure to some chemicals can result in hemolytic anemia. Hemolytic anemia results in normocytic-normochromic red blood cells.
Global Rationale: Hemorrhagic anemia results in normocytic-normochromic red blood cells. Exposure to some chemicals can result in hemolytic anemia. Hemolytic anemia results in normocytic-normochromic red blood cells. Iron deficiency anemia results in microcytic-hypochromic red blood cells. Pernicious anemia can result from inadequate B12 intake, which can occur in a client on a strict vegetarian diet. Pernicious anemia results in macrocytic-normochromic red blood cells. Folate deficiency results in macrocytic-normochromic red blood cells.
