Blood loss, decreased production of RBCs, Increased destrution of RBCs -
CORRECT ANSWER-What are three prevalent causes of anemia?
Blood loss - CORRECT ANSWER->>Chronic hemorrhage - Bleeding duodenal
ulcer, Colon cancer>>Acute trauma -cuts
decreased production of RBCs - CORRECT ANSWER-deficient nutrients (iron,
vitamin B12, folic acid), decreased erythropoietin (kidneys not functioning,
epogen medication), Increased destruction of RBCs (sickle cell anemia,
medication, incompatible blood, trauma)
,acute anemia clinical manifestations - CORRECT ANSWER-gets
really bad at 40-
50% volume loss mild - exertional dyspnea & palpations
WBC differential - CORRECT ANSWER-all blood parts + WBC
parts (neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes,
basophils, eosinophils)
Clincal manifestations of Chronic Anemia - CORRECT ANSWERmoderate -
fatigue, bounding pulse, roaring in ears; severe- pallor, systolic murmur, headache,
anorexia, vertigo
,WBCs, RBCs, and platelets - CORRECT ANSWER-complete blood count (CBC)
measures concentration of
Anemia - CORRECT ANSWER-the decrease in the number of
RBC's, quantity of hemoglobin, and/or volume of packed cells- decrease in any
of these leads to signs of hypoxia
,iron deficiency anemia S&S- CORRECT ANSWER-initally symptom
free, pallor, glossitis, chelisitis, headache,
paresthesias iron deficiency anemia causes -
CORRECT ANSWER-most common, decreased
RBC production, chronic blood loss, inadequate intake, malabsorption, hemolysis

What are triglycerides?
, -Type of lipid that contains three fatty acids and a chemical backbone of glycerol
-Account for 90% of total lipids in the body
pernicious anemia causes - CORRECT ANSWER-megaloblastic
anemia (large
RBCs), lack of gastric intrinsic factors resulting in decreased vitamin B12
,absorption, familial tendency, high risk populations: >40 y/o, Northern European
(scandinavian) ancestry
Red flags for Vitamin B12 deficiency: - CORRECT ANSWERaltered mental
status, somnolence, depression
What is hyperlipidemia?
Excess amount of lipids in the blood and a major risk factor for cardiovascular
disease
aplastic anemia causes - CORRECT ANSWER-bone marrow
suppression, pancytopenia, congenital birth defects; Acquired: idiopathic,
chemicals, medications, infections
