Coffee and tea increase gastrointestinal motility and inhibit the absorption of nonheme iron.
3. A
It is difficult to determine activity intolerance without objectively comparing activities from one time
frame to another. Because iron deficiency anemia can occur gradually and individual endurance varies,
the nurse can best assess the client’s activity tolerance by asking the client to compare activities 6
months ago and at the present.
4. B
The decrease in respiratory rate indicates that the client is not strong enough to complete the
mechanical cycle of respiration needed for gas exchange.

Brown rice is a source of iron from plant sources (nonheme iron). Other sources of non heme iron are
whole-grain cereals and breads, dark green vegetables, legumes, nuts, dried fruits (apricots, raisins,
dates), oatmeal, and sweet potatoes.

The results of a CBC in children with iron deficiency anemia will show decreased hemoglobin levels and
microcytic and hypochromic red blood cells. The red blood cell count is decreased. The reticulocyte
count is usually normal or slightly elevated.
8. A
The effects of aging on the immune system are manifested with T cells becoming less responsive to
antigens and etc.
9. C
The effects of aging on the immune system are manifest at multiple levels that include reduced
production of B and T cells in bone marrow and thymus and diminished function of mature lymphocytes
in secondary lymphoid tissues. As a result, elderly individuals do not respond to immune challenge as
robustly as the young.
10. D
The aging of the adaptive immune system results in decreased functionality termed immune
senescence. Defects arise in both the humoral and cellular arms of the adaptive response, implicating
defective T-cell function with age.
