NURS 5432 UTA COMPREHENSIVE
ASSESSMENT 2026 FULL ANSWERS
GRADED A+
● Hypochromic anemia. Answer: Anemia with low hemoglobin
concentration.
● Iron Deficiency Anemia (IDA). Answer: Caused by low iron intake or
blood loss.
● Thalassemia. Answer: Hereditary disorder affecting hemoglobin
synthesis.
● Lead poisoning. Answer: Toxic accumulation of lead causing anemia.
● Hemoglobin (Hgb). Answer: Protein in red blood cells carrying
oxygen.
● Hematocrit (Hct). Answer: Percentage of blood volume occupied by
red cells.
● Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV). Answer: Average volume of red
blood cells.
,● Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin Concentration (MCHC). Answer:
Average concentration of hemoglobin in red cells.
● Red Blood Cell Distribution Width (RDW). Answer: Measure of
variation in red blood cell size.
● Total Iron Binding Capacity (TIBC). Answer: Measure of blood's
capacity to bind iron.
● Serum ferritin. Answer: Indicator of stored iron in the body.
● Elemental iron dosage for adults. Answer: 100 to 200 mg/day for iron
deficiency.
● Elemental iron dosage for children. Answer: 3 to 6 mg/kg/day for iron
deficiency.
● Reticulocyte count. Answer: Indicator of bone marrow response to
anemia.
● IV iron therapy. Answer: Used for patients intolerant to oral iron.
, ● Ferric carboxymaltose. Answer: IV iron formulation given over 15
minutes.
● Lean body weight (LBW). Answer: Used to calculate required
elemental iron.
● Desired Hemoglobin (Hgb). Answer: Target hemoglobin level in g/dL.
● Observed Hemoglobin (Hgb). Answer: Current hemoglobin level in
g/dL.
● Ferritin level in IDA. Answer: Low ferritin indicates iron deficiency
anemia.
● Ferritin level in Thalassemia. Answer: Normal ferritin despite low
hemoglobin levels.
● Hemoglobin electrophoresis. Answer: Test to identify types of
hemoglobin present.
● Elevated reticulocyte count. Answer: Indicates increased red blood
cell production.
● Hgb electrophoresis. Answer: Test to identify types of hemoglobin.
