SOLUTION
●● 4 Main components of blood composition
Answer: RBC, WBC, platelets, plasma
●● What is the composition of plasma
Answer: 90% H2O
10% solutes - glucose, protein, albumin, hormones, etc
●● Where is bone marrow aspiration in infants?
Answer: Tibia
●● Where is bone marrow aspiration in toddlers and preschoolers?
Answer: femur and tibia
●● Where is bone marrow aspiration in children over 5?
Answer: pelvis (iliac crest)
●● Where is bone marrow production in young adults/adults?
,Answer: ribs, sternum, vertebra, pelvis, skull, clavicle, scapula
●● what is anemia
Answer: a condition in which levels of red blood cells and hemoglobin
are lower than normal
●● 4 types of anemia
Answer: Iron deficiency
lead poisoning
sickle cell
B-thalassemia
●● Define iron deficiency anemia
Answer: reduction in the iron stores of the body causing an inadequate
production of hemoglobin
●● What is iron needed for?
Answer: to make hgb
●● signs and symptoms of iron deficiency anemia
Answer: pallor
tachycardia
tachypnea
,lethargy
fatigue
irritability
●● Why are neonates at risk for iron deficiency anemia?
Answer: -lack the maternal iron stores
-Full term infants have maternal iron stores until approximately 6
months of age
-Havent had the time in utero to store up the needed iron supply
(preterm)
●● How can you treat a neonate with iron deficiency anemia?
Answer: Iron fortified formula
●● What are risk factors for iron deficiency anemia in infants and
children?
Answer: 1.inadequate iron intake
2.Malabsorption of iron in GI tract
3.Chronic blood loss
●● Food with good sources of iron
, Answer: red meat, egg yolk, leafy greens, dried fruits, fortified
cereals/formulas, beef, chicken, fish, beans, nuts, seeds, peanut butter,
eggs, prunes, whole grain bread
●● How is iron deficiency anemia diagnosed?
Answer: Serum lab evaluation:
-Red blood cell count = microcytic (small) and hypo chronic (pale in
color)
-low hemoglobin
-low hematocrit
-low reticulocyte count
-low serum iron concentration
-high total iron binding capacity
●● What is the goal of treatment for iron deficiency anemia
Answer: treat medical problem causing malabsorption or blood loss/
identify cause
●● What is the treatment method for iron deficiency anemia?
Answer: Increase iron take
~ Dietary sources
~Medication supplement (ferrosol or ferrous sulfate)
