Question

Which of the following is common to all forms of severe anemia?
A) Bone pain
B) Hypoxemia

Accepted Answer

Severe anemia of any type results in decreased oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood, leading to hypoxemia. Symptoms of severe anemia may include fatigue, weakness, shortness of breath, and pale skin, but bone pain, folic acid deficiency, and iron deficiency are not necessarily common to all forms of severe anemia.
