Study Notes

Anemia

  • A decrease in the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood.

General Nursing Interventions

  • Balance physical activity and rest.
  • Maintain adequate nutrition and perfusion.
  • Monitor vital signs, SpO2, and administer O2 PRN.
  • Provide patient education.
  • Monitor for complications.

Iron Deficiency Anemia - Etiology and Pathophysiology

  • Etiology: Excessive iron loss due to bleeding, decreased iron intake, or malabsorption.
  • Pathophysiology: Hypoxemia because of the blood's reduced oxygen-carrying capacity.

Iron Deficiency Anemia - Signs and Symptoms

  • Develops gradually and may not be noticeable until hemoglobin drops to 7-8 g/dL.
  • Earliest signs include weakness, fatigue, and shortness of breath with activity/exertion.
  • Other signs include pallor, glossitis, cheilosis, brittle spoon-shaped nails, smooth sore tongue, and PICA.

Iron Deficiency Anemia - Diagnostics and Lab Tests

  • Low iron levels.

Iron Deficiency Anemia - Diagnostics and Lab Tests

  • Low MCV and MCHC.
  • Low serum iron and ferritin levels.
  • Elevated serum iron-binding capacity.

LABS

  • Stool occult blood test to assess stool color, frequency, consistency, and amount.
  • Patients may have greenish black or tarry stools.

Iron Deficiency Anemia - Interventions

  • Note that iron deficiency can be caused by blood loss.
  • Increase iron-rich food intake and provide oral supplementation.
  • Administer 100-200 mg of ferrous sulfate (slow FE) 2 to 3 times daily for 3-6 months.
  • EPO stimulation is possible, as is IM or IV administration.

Iron Deficiency Anemia - Patient Education

  • Teach patients to maintain adequate nutrition and select iron-rich foods.
  • Preferred foods include meats, fish, and poultry as well as vegetables, fruits, nuts, and iron-fortified cereals.
  • Administer on an empty stomach or with vitamin C for faster absorption.
  • Avoid grapefruit juice, antacids, and caffeine.
  • Report persistent GI side effects like CONSTIPATION.
  • Bowel movements will appear black and tarry with iron supplements.

  • Inadequate B12 dietary intake.
  • Faulty absorption.
  • Medication preventing the process.
  • Absence of intrinsic factor, which results in pernicious anemia.
  • Lack of B12 causes the formation of megaloblastic cells.
  • Interruption of DNA synthesis and normal maturation of RBCs.

Megaloblastic Anemia - B12/Cobalamin Assessment

  • Develops slowly. Median age of diagnosis is 60 years old.
  • Possible signs include pallor with slight jaundice, weakness, smooth/sore/beefy red tongue (glossitis), and diarrhea.

  • Populations at risk include older adults, those on long-term metformin, H2 blockers, PPIs, post-bariatric surgery patients as well as strict vegans.
  • Bariatric patients are missing intrinsic factor.
  • Diagnostic and lab tests reveal increased MCV and MCHC, decreased hemoglobin and hematocrit, and lower serum B12 levels.

Megaloblastic Anemia - B12/Cobalamin Medications and Education

  • Vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin) 1000mcg IM daily for 7 days, then monthly for life for pernicious anemia.
  • Increase oral intake, PO supplement, or IM injections, for dietary deficiency.
  • Folate deficiency and hypokalemia often occur together so replace potassium PRN.

  • Use supplemental iron PRN.
  • Give PRBCs for Hgb less than 7 PRN.

RBC destruction due to Sickle Cell Disease and Anemia

  • A hereditary, chronic form of anemia.
