A nurse is collecting data from a client who has anemia due to excess blood loss during surgery. The nurse should expect which of the following findings?

A. Respiratory depression is not a typical finding in anemia; the body usually compensates with increased respiratory effort. B. Bradycardia is uncommon; anemia typically causes tachycardia as a compensatory mechanism to maintain oxygen delivery. C. Dyspnea on exertion occurs because reduced red blood cell mass leads to decreased oxygen-carrying capacity, causing shortness of breath during activity. D. Intense abdominal pain is not directly associated with anemia from blood loss unless there is another surgical complication.
