One of the major functions of red blood cells is to transport oxygen from the lungs to the cells and carbon dioxide from the cells to the lungs. When dietary intake of iron falls, the body converts the stored iron for use. As stores decline, the capability for manufacturing red blood cells declines and an iron deficiency known as anemia develops) As a nurse, you oversee the Health Clinic at a local college.
