A client is admitted with the diagnosis of generalized anemia. This disorder is caused by: Select all that apply
1. A disruption in erythrocyte volume.
2. Decreased oxygen availability to the tissues.
3. Defective oxygenation in the lungs.
4. An airway obstruction.
5. Abnormal pulmonary function.
1. A disruption in erythrocyte volume.
2. Decreased oxygen availability to the tissues.
Rationale:
A disruption in erythrocyte volume. Decreased erythrocyte volume results in anemic hypoxia or decreased oxygen availability to the tissues specifically due to decreased concentration of functional hemoglobin or a reduced number of red blood cells.
Decreased oxygen availability to the tissues. Decreased erythrocyte volume results in anemic hypoxia or decreased oxygen availability to the tissues specifically due to decreased concentration of functional hemoglobin or a reduced number of red blood cells.
Defective oxygenation in the lungs. Defective oxygenation in the lungs causes hypoxic hypoxia, in which oxygen deprivation occurs from defective oxygenation in the lungs.
An airway obstruction. An airway obstruction results in defective oxygenation in the lungs.
Abnormal pulmonary function. Abnormal pulmonary function results in defective oxygenation in the lungs.
