Read the information in the Hospital Consult below: Recommendation
Billy needs another transfusion immediately. I have already ordered this. Once his anemia is stabilized, I think he should be seen by surgery to assess for a splenectomy. If he does get a splenectomy, he will, of course, need a pneumococcus vaccine, as he will be partially immunocompromised due to asplenia. Thank you for this interesting consult. I will continue to follow up on a daily basis.
According to the information, which of the following statements is NOT true?

A) A splenectomy results in asplenia.
B) Billy immediately needs more blood from another source.
C) Billy is recovering from having his spleen removed.
D) If Billy undergoes surgery, he will need to have a vaccine because his immune system will not be capable of responding normally and completely to a pathogen or disease.
E) The author of this health record wants to assess Billy and potentially remove Billy's spleen.
