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)
What should nurses and parents know about administering iron to children? - answer--
Administer to back of mouth because it stains teeth, can cause constipation, and
black/green stool
-Give with orange juice or citric acid to help with absorption

-Children adopted from other countries where there are less strict environmental
regulations
Environmental causes of lead poisoning - answer--Lead based paint
-Plumbing from lead pipes
-soil
Dietary factors of lead poisoning - answer--iron deficiency
-calcium deficiency
Patient-child interactions - answer--Job or hobby exposure
-home remedies or cultural practices
How does lead poisoning cause anemia - answer-lead can replace iron on Hgb causing
O2 to not be delivered causing anemia
Clinical manifestation of lead poisoning - answer--Asymptomatic
-Signs of anemia
-Growth and developmental lags
-Behavioral changes
-Neurologic changes
-Gastrointestinal changes
can someone be asymptomatic if they have lead poisoning - answer-yes
