B12 Deficiency Anemia (clinical -Fatigue
manifestation) -Mood changes
-Memory difficulty
-Weakness
-Mild jaundice
-Vitiligo
-Premature greying of hair-Pallor
Anemia -A condition in which the hemoglobin concentration
is lower than normal, reflects the presence of fewer
than normal erythrocytes within the circulation
-As a result the amount of oxygen delivered to body
tissues is also diminished
Anemia (nursing diagnosis) -Fatigue
-Deficient knowledge
-Risk for infection
-Risk for bleeding
-Activity intolerance
, Iron Deficiency Anemia -Not taking in enough dietary iron
-Occurs when the body's iron stores are depleted &
there is no iron available for hemoglobin synthesis
-Iron is stored primarily in the liver, spleen, & bone
marrow.
-Most common cause in men & postmenopausal
women is bleeding
-Most common cause in premenopausal women is
menorrhagia
B12 Deficiency Anemia (Pernicious anemia)
- Can develop in vegans but faulty absorption from
the GI tract is more common: Crohn disease, bariatric
surgery, even if enough B12 is present have to have
the intrinsic factor
- An autoimmune disorder involving autoantibodies
to intrinsic factor and parietal cells resulting in poor
absorption of B12
B12 Deficiency Anemia (cause of - Intrinsic factor is usually secreted within the gastric
decreased intrinsic factor) mucosa
- Without intrinsic factor, orally consumed vitamin B12
cannot be absorbed, and eventually erythrocyte
production is diminished
Sickle Cell Disease -An inherited blood disorder more common in
African Americans
- Crescent red blood cells (hydration and
oxygenation to bring cells to normal shape).
- Treatment: hydration (push IV fluids), pain meds
(opioids) and bed rest to conserve oxygen (do not
ambulate frequently), Oxygenation
- Major complications is acute chest syndrome.
(causes shortness of breath)
- Give morphine (opioids) around the clock to help
severe pain caused by Vaso occlusive crisis.
