(Print) Use this randomly generated list as your call list when playing the game. There is no need to say the BINGO column name. 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.

Capacity): HIGH
Can cause neurological symptoms if untreated
D) Take iron supplements immediately before bedtime.
BLOOD TRANSFUSION
C) Low hemoglobin and hematocrit levels
Causes mild to severe anemia depending on the type
B) Iron supplements may cause stools to become dark or black.
Enhance absorption: Eat with vitamin C (e.g., citrus fruits).
DIAGNOSTIC
1ST LINE OF TREATMENT
A. Ferrous sulfate or ferrous gluconate
D) Pale skin
Gastric Surgery: Procedures like gastric bypass reduce the stomach’s ability to absorb iron.
USED IN SEVERE CASES
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.
A) Fatigue
Used when oral iron isn’t tolerated or absorbed. EX: Iron sucrose, ferumoxytol
IRON SUPPLEMENTS
- Increased iron loss:
Side effects: Constipation, dark stools, nausea.toms of the patient
Celiac Disease: A disorder that affects nutrient absorption in the small intestine.
-
Anemia is the most common blood disorder, and it affects more than 3 million Americans.
MCV (Mean Corpuscular Volume): LOW
- Pregnancy: Pregnant women require more iron to support the developing fetus and increase blood volume.
BONE MARROW BIOPSY
IV IRON
RBC Count: Low or normal
CBC:
Chronic inflammation or illness (e.g., infections, cancer, autoimmune diseases).
- A poor diet lacking in iron-rich foods, such as red meat, leafy greens, beans, and fortified cereals, can lead to iron deficiency.
Pallor
Iron deficiency anemia is a common type of anemia
A) Vitamin B12 deficiency
C) High blood pressure
QUESTIONS
C) Decrease intake of vitamin C while on iron therapy.
Chronic Inflammatory Diseases: Conditions like inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), Crohn’s disease, or ulcerative colitis can affect iron absorption.
- Impaired iron absorption:
Brittle nails
TREATMENT
Leads to chronic anemia, pain crises, and organ damage
Rarely performed but can be used to confirm iron deficiency if other diagnostics are inconclusive.
May result from poor intake or inability to absorb B12
Craving ice or clay
B) Shortness of breath
Signs and symptoms
Inadequate Iron Intake:
Inherited disorder where red blood cells become crescent-shaped and break down easily
A) Elevated serum ferritin
A rare condition where the bone marrow fails to produce enough red blood cells
Anemia of Chronic Disease (ACD)
D) Genetic disorders
Folate Deficiency Anemia
Aplastic Anemia
Inherited blood disorder that affects hemoglobin production
Avoid inhibitors: Don’t take iron with dairy, coffee, or tea.
D) Increased mean corpuscular volume (MCV)
Caused by low levels of vitamin B12
Surgery or Trauma: Major surgeries or accidents may lead to blood loss.
Ferritin: LOW
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).
Fatigue
C) Iron deficiency
Increase iron-rich foods: red meat, beans, spinach, fortified cereals.
B. Take on an empty stomach with vitamin C to improve absorption
IRON STUDIES:
A) Take the iron supplement with milk to enhance absorption.
Hematocrit (Hct): Low
Reticulocyte Count: Low or normal (indicates reduced RBC production)
Stage 1 - Iron stores decrease. Your low iron supply hasn’t affected your red blood cells yet.
DIETARY CHANGES
Vitamin B12 Deficiency Anemia (Pernicious Anemia)
- 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.
SOB
2. Which of the following is NOT a common symptom of iron deficiency anemia?
Sickle Cell Anemia
- Gastrointestinal Bleeding: Conditions like ulcers, gastritis, or hemorrhoids can cause chronic blood loss.
Increased iron requirements:
Due to lack of folic acid (a B vitamin)
1. Which of the following is the most common cause of anemia worldwide?
Serum Iron: Low
Can be caused by autoimmune disease, certain medications, or toxins
Cold hands and feet
Faster iron repletion in severe cases.
RISK FACTORS
Stages of iron deficiency anemia
4. A patient with iron deficiency anemia is prescribed oral iron supplements. Which instruction should the nurse include?
Especially important during pregnancy
3. Which laboratory finding is most indicative of iron deficiency anemia?
TIBC (Total Iron-Binding
B) Decreased total iron-binding capacity (TIBC)
B) Chronic diseases
- Adolescence: Increased iron demand
stage 3 - Hemoglobin drops below the normal range.
Common in people with poor diets, alcoholism, or malabsorption issues
TYPES OF ANEMIA
- Infancy and Childhood: Rapid growth in infants and toddlers increases iron needs.
Hemoglobin (Hgb): Low
Palpitations
Iron deficiency
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
