and hemoglobin are lower than normal
◉ 4 types of anemia. Answer: Iron deficiency
lead poisoning
sickle cell

◉ Define iron deficiency anemia. Answer: reduction in the iron stores of
the body causing an inadequate production of hemoglobin

fatigue
irritability
◉ Why are neonates at risk for iron deficiency anemia? Answer: -lack

Increase iron take
~ Dietary sources
~Medication supplement (ferrosol or ferrous sulfate)
