ADULT HEALTH EXAM 2 (ANEMIA)
what is a reduction in one or more of the major RBC measurements and it is a decrease in the RBC
number, hemoglobin concentration, or hematocrit? - ANS anemia
what is known as the volume of packed RBCs? - ANS hematocrit
is hematocrit 1/3 of whatever the hemoglobin is? - ANS yes
in pregnant women will the hemoglobin be less than 11 and hematocrit will be 33? - ANS yes
what production is the availability of oxygen that is carried to the tissues and it is bound by the
hemoglobin? - ANS erythropoietin production
what type of anemia is the most common worldwide and affects people of all ages? - ANS anemia of
iron deficiency
do we lose iron everyday with our bowel movements which is replaced by dietary uptake? - ANS yes
do people worldwide have iron anemia due to diet, chronic disease, they do not fortify the foods what
we do, secondary to blood loss, car accident, surgery, cancer, menstruation can cause hemoglobin to be
low, GI bleed, PUD, and hemorrhoids? - ANS yes
what is the WHO definition of anemia for men for hemoglobin and hematocrit? - ANS hemoglobin: <13
hematocrit: <39%
what is the WHO definition of anemia for women for hemoglobin and hematocrit? - ANS hemoglobin:
<12
,hematocrit: <36%
what does cytic mean? - ANS cell
what are the 3 different RBC sizes? - ANS microcytic
normocytic
macrocytic
what type of RBC size is the MCV <80? - ANS microcytic
what type of RBC size is the MCV 80-100? - ANS normocytic
what type of RBC size is the MCV >100? - ANS macrocytic
do 1 in 5 older adults have idiopathic anemia which is when you do a workup on the older adult and no
matter how many times, you cannot find the cause of anemia? - ANS yes
what type of anemia is the idiopathic anemia of aging and is where some older patients just have a low
H and H? - ANS IAA
does denver colorado have a high H and H because of the altitude, which with the altitude the oxygen is
thinner and the body compensates to try to make up for that, so H and H will be higher than normal? -
ANS yes
when will high hemoglobin occur? - ANS when you smoke or live in high altitude
,will COPD stage 3 have high or low H and H? - ANS high H and H, the body develops more cells and they
develop polycythemia
does testosterone given IM make the patients have a high H and H or low? - ANS high H and H
is IM the only way to increase hematocrit and hemoglobin levels for testosterone? - ANS yes
what is the cell lifespan in anemia? - ANS 100 to 125 days
do cells in anemia die much quicker because of stress that they go through that has an underlying
condition? - ANS yes
do pernicious anemia and folate go together, if you treat pernicious anemia do you also treat folate? -
ANS yes
does pernicious anemia occur in people who get their calories from a bottle (alcoholics)? - ANS yes
what type of anemia is this:
MCV <80
MCH <27
iron deficiency
thalassemia
anemia of chronic disease
lead poisonining
sideroblastic anemia? - ANS microcytic, hypochromic
, what are the examples of microcytic hypochromic anemia? - ANS MCV <80
MCH <27
iron deficiency
thalassemia
anemia of chronic disease
lead poisonining
sideroblastic anemia
what type of anemia is this:
MCV 80-95
MCH >27
many haemolytic anemia
anemia of chronic disease
after acute blood loss
renal disease
mixed deficiencies
bone marrow failure (post chemo, infiltration by carcinoma)? - ANS normocytic, normochromic
what are examples of normocytic normochromic anemia? - ANS MCV 80-95
MCH >27
