true
false
question 3 (mandatory) (20 points)
listen
serum iron is the most sensitive test for iron deficiency anemia.
true

Explanation:

For Question 2, acute blood - loss anemia initially results in normocytic and normochromic red blood cells as the body has not yet adjusted the production or morphology of new cells. For Question 3, serum ferritin is a more sensitive test for iron - deficiency anemia rather than serum iron as serum iron can be affected by many factors like diurnal variation, inflammation etc.

Question 2: True
Question 3: False
