Place some kind of mark (like an X, a checkmark, a dot, tally mark, etc) on each cell as you announce it, to keep track. You can also cut out each item, place them in a bag and pull words from the bag.

Reticulocyte Count: Low or normal (indicates reduced RBC production)
Signs and symptoms
Especially important during pregnancy
1ST LINE OF TREATMENT
IRON STUDIES:
Anemia is a blood disorder that occurs when the body lacks sufficient red blood cells or hemoglobin, an iron-rich protein that carries oxygen from the lungs to tissues throughout the body. While some forms of anemia are inherited, individuals can
CBC:
Stages of iron deficiency anemia
TYPES OF ANEMIA
- Impaired iron absorption:
Vitamin B12 Deficiency Anemia (Pernicious Anemia)
Sickle Cell Anemia
Thalassemia
SOB
Used when oral iron isn’t tolerated or absorbed. EX: Iron sucrose, ferumoxytol
Common in people with poor diets, alcoholism, or malabsorption issues
B) Chronic diseases
D) Increased mean corpuscular volume (MCV)
A) Vitamin B12 deficiency
3. Which laboratory finding is most indicative of iron deficiency anemia?
Inadequate Iron Intake:
Can cause neurological symptoms if untreated
Anemia is the most common blood disorder, and it affects more than 3 million Americans.
TIBC (Total Iron-Binding
Palpitations
C) Decrease intake of vitamin C while on iron therapy.
C) Low hemoglobin and hematocrit levels
Folate Deficiency Anemia
- Pregnancy: Pregnant women require more iron to support the developing fetus and increase blood volume.
C) Iron deficiency
MCV (Mean Corpuscular Volume): LOW
Leads to chronic anemia, pain crises, and organ damage
HOW IT WORKS: iron deficiency anemia is due to insufficient iron. Without enough iron, your body can't produce enough of a substance in red blood cells that enables them to carry oxygen (hemoglobin).
D) Pale skin
RISK FACTORS
Iron deficiency
Chronic Inflammatory Diseases: Conditions like inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), Crohn’s disease, or ulcerative colitis can affect iron absorption.
Can be caused by autoimmune disease, certain medications, or toxins
Faster iron repletion in severe cases.
A) Take the iron supplement with milk to enhance absorption.
Stage 2 - When iron stores are low, your body alters the way it processes red blood cells. Your bone marrow makes red blood cells without enough hemoglobin.
Surgery or Trauma: Major surgeries or accidents may lead to blood loss.
D) Take iron supplements immediately before bedtime.
Caused by low levels of vitamin B12
A) Elevated serum ferritin
Due to lack of folic acid (a B vitamin)
DIETARY CHANGES
USED IN SEVERE CASES
BLOOD TRANSFUSION
Increase iron-rich foods: red meat, beans, spinach, fortified cereals.
Increased iron requirements:
- A poor diet lacking in iron-rich foods, such as red meat, leafy greens, beans, and fortified cereals, can lead to iron deficiency.
- Gastrointestinal Bleeding: Conditions like ulcers, gastritis, or hemorrhoids can cause chronic blood loss.
Cold hands and feet
stage 3 - Hemoglobin drops below the normal range.
A. Ferrous sulfate or ferrous gluconate
B) Decreased total iron-binding capacity (TIBC)
DIAGNOSTIC
TREATMENT
IV IRON
A) Fatigue
Rarely performed but can be used to confirm iron deficiency if other diagnostics are inconclusive.
Stage 1 - Iron stores decrease. Your low iron supply hasn’t affected your red blood cells yet.
Chronic inflammation or illness (e.g., infections, cancer, autoimmune diseases).
Inherited blood disorder that affects hemoglobin production
Dizziness
D) Genetic disorders
Iron deficiency anemia is a common type of anemia
Hemoglobin (Hgb): Low
B. Take on an empty stomach with vitamin C to improve absorption
Aplastic Anemia
BONE MARROW BIOPSY
Pallor
Brittle nails
May result from poor intake or inability to absorb B12
Celiac Disease: A disorder that affects nutrient absorption in the small intestine.
-
- Increased iron loss:
Side effects: Constipation, dark stools, nausea.toms of the patient
4. A patient with iron deficiency anemia is prescribed oral iron supplements. Which instruction should the nurse include?
Ferritin: LOW
Inherited disorder where red blood cells become crescent-shaped and break down easily
IRON SUPPLEMENTS
QUESTIONS
A rare condition where the bone marrow fails to produce enough red blood cells
B) Shortness of breath
2. Which of the following is NOT a common symptom of iron deficiency anemia?
Hematocrit (Hct): Low
Enhance absorption: Eat with vitamin C (e.g., citrus fruits).
1. Which of the following is the most common cause of anemia worldwide?
Capacity): HIGH
RBC Count: Low or normal
Anemia of Chronic Disease (ACD)
Causes mild to severe anemia depending on the type
- Adolescence: Increased iron demand
- Infancy and Childhood: Rapid growth in infants and toddlers increases iron needs.
Craving ice or clay
Fatigue
Gastric Surgery: Procedures like gastric bypass reduce the stomach’s ability to absorb iron.
C) High blood pressure
Serum Iron: Low
- As seen in Vegetarians and vegans, they may have particular difficulty obtaining sufficient heme iron from plant-based sources, as non-heme iron is less efficiently absorbed by the body.
B) Iron supplements may cause stools to become dark or black.
Avoid inhibitors: Don’t take iron with dairy, coffee, or tea.
