1. Cyanocobalamin (Nascobal): Vitamin B12 Cobalamin deficiency, anemia
ACTION:
-pernicious anemia: absence of intrinsic factor(protein secreted by the stomach cells,
which is required for B12 absorption)
-Inflammatory disease of stomach
-surgical removal of stomach
-strict vegetarian diet
ADVERSE
EFFECTS: -
hypokalemia
CONTRAINDICATIONS:
-sensitivities to cobalt and folic acid deficient anemia

PATIENT TEACHING:
-do not stop taking abruptly
-S/S: memory loss, confusion, tingling in limbs, mood disturbances,
2. which patient needs further teaching about iron ?: -patient that states "we need
