Pathophysiology
This occurs when total body iron is insufficient and erythropoiesis is diminished.
What is anemia?
Patients can be asymptomatic. Labs show elevated WBC's with frequent infections, enlarged liver, spleen, and lymph nodes.
What is leukemia?
Hemoglobin electrophoresis identifies abnormal hemoglobin. Increase fluids, pain relief, reassess for organ perfusion.
What is diagnosis of sickle cell disease?
These patients need nutritional counseling to avoid severe anorexia and wt loss.
Pt's with neoplasm on chemotherapy?
Increase fluids, avoid high altitude, reduce infection risk, adequate sleep
What is sickle cell?
This is a rare disorder that is triggered after a viral infection, a reaction to a drug, or a chemical exposure. A person may also be genetically predisposed to be triggered by the events listed.
What is aplastic anemia
Patient's experience iron deficiency anemia, infection, and frequent episodes of bleeding depending on which formed blood cells have been damaged as a result of a trigger.
What is aplastic anemia?
Increase fluid intake. Diagnosis includes a genetic test for the JAK2V617F mutation.
Polycythemia vera
These are expected outcomes of these patients:
preform hygiene without needing to rest.
ADL's without SOB
eat nutritious meals
What are anemic patients?
Be careful moving and walking related to a risk for pathological fractures.
What is multiple myeloma?
This is a genetic disorder, in which the gene received from both parents causes, the 50% of the hemoglobin to be misshaped.
What is sickle cell
The size, shape, quantity and/or color of erythrocytes are abnormal. The CBC will often have a low hemoglobin level.
anemia?
Sudden immature rapid growth of cells. Occurs in adults older than 60 most often but has childhood occurrences also. Treated with chemotherapy with a combination of drugs designed to target the different phases of the cell cycle. Can be taken in induction, consolidation, or maintenance therapy.
What is leukemia? What is chemotherapy?
Chemicals found in your garage are capable of suppressing this?
What is bone marrow?
genetic counseling, avoid injury
What is hemophilia
This is a neoplastic disorder of unknown origin that results in excessive production of red blood cells.
What is polycythemia vera?
This is a result of low levels of vitamin B-12 from a lack of ingestion or absorption.
What is pernicious anemia.
Increase fluids to decrease hypercalcemia.
What is multiple myeloma?
These foods have this in common:
beef liver, prunes, spinach
High in iron
Avoid pesticides and chemicals
What is aplastic anemia
This is the over production of immature white blood cells.
What is leukemia?
Defective S hemoglobin forms clumps in the red blood cells, blocking blood vessels, forming thrombi and organ damage.
What is Sickle Cell?
Offer a diet rich in iron, Vit B12, Vit. C, folic acid, and amino acids.
What is iron deficiency anemia?
Reinforce dressing as needed by applying yet another layer of dressing as blood soaks through; do not remove previous dressings.
What is treatment of a trauma with acute hemorrhage.
Observe for signs of bleeding, reduce risk of bleeding (electric razors)
What is thromboctyopenia?
