A nurse is assessing a child with iron deficiency anemia. Which of the following is NOT an expected finding?

A. Increased appetite is not an expected finding in a child with iron deficiency anemia. Children with iron deficiency anemia typically experience a reduced appetite or may develop pica (craving non-food substances) rather than an increased appetite. B. Pallor is a common sign of iron deficiency anemia, as a lack of iron reduces the number of red blood cells and the amount of hemoglobin, leading to pale skin and mucous membranes. C. Tachycardia is a compensatory response to anemia, as the heart works harder to deliver oxygen to tissues due to a reduced capacity of the blood to carry oxygen. D. Brittle spoon-shaped nails (koilonychia) are a classic physical finding in iron deficiency anemia, caused by the reduced oxygen delivery to the nails and skin.
