Which of the following clients is most susceptible to experiencing the effects of inadequate erythropoiesis? A client:

A) Who has developed renal failure as a result of long-standing hypertension
B) Who recently experienced an ischemic stroke and who remains bedridden
C) Whose heavy alcohol use has culminated in a diagnosis of pancreatitis
D) Whose estimated blood loss during recent surgery was 700 mL


Ans: A
Feedback:
Kidney failure causes an absence of erythropoietin production. As a result, hypoxia does not result in erythropoiesis. Stroke, pancreatitis, and recent blood loss do not directly impair the body's ability to create new red blood cells.
