for the week of 04.16.07
A 10 year-old client is recovering from a splenectomy following a traumatic injury. The clients laboratory results show a hemoglobin of 9 g/dL and a hematocrit of 28 percent. The best approach for the nurse to use is to
1. limit milk and milk products
2. encourage bed activities and games
3. plan nursing care around lengthy rest periods
4. promote a diet rich in iron
