1. Question
The nurse is caring for a client with a diagnosis of chronic gastritis. The nurse monitors the client knowing that this client is at risk for which vitamin deficiency?
CorrectAnswer & Rationale.
Option 2 is correct
Rationale: Chronic gastritis causes deterioration and atrophy of the lining of the stomach, leading to the loss of the function of the parietal cells. The source of the intrinsic factor is lost, which results in the inability to absorb vitamin B12. This leads to the development of pernicious anemia. The client is not at risk for vitamin A, C, or E deficiency.
Test-Taking Strategy: Recalling the pathophysiology related to pernicious anemia and vitamin B12 deficiency will direct you to option 2. If you are unfamiliar with vitamin B12 deficiency and its relationship to gastric disorders, review this content.
