The nurse is assisting in the development of a care plan for a patient with pernicious anemia. Which of the following would be the most common nursing diagnosis with this medical condition?
Correct answer
A
Rationale
Pernicious anemia causes vitamin B12 deficiency, reducing oxygen transport and leading to tissue hypoxia, which results in activity intolerance. Airway clearance, infection risk, and chronic pain are less directly related.
