Q

Q

Is Reb blood cells increased or decreased with a patient diagnosed with anemia?

A

decreased

18
Q

S/S of Anemia

A

Pallor
Fatigue
Tachycardia
Murmurs
Growth retardation
Activity intolerance
slight jaundice if red blood cell destruc-
tion occurs
Shortness of breath
Dysrhythmias
Chest pain

19
Q

Management of Anemia

A

Treat underlying cause

Transfusions,
nutritional
interventions

*Supportive care: IVF,rest,
*decrease O2 demands (keep child calm), *O2 as PRN

20
Q

What foods would you recommend for a child with anemia

A
  1. Encourage the client to eat foods rich in folic
    acid,
    such as green leafy vegetables, meat, liver, fish, legumes, peanuts, orange juice, and avocado.
  2. Administer folic acid as prescribed.
21
Q

What is the cause of iron deficiency Anemia?

A

Most prevalent and preventable nutritional disorder in US
 Most often caused by nutritional deficiency
 Children 12-36 months at risk

poor diet increase intake of calcium rich foods
2. Commonly results from blood loss, increased metabolic demands, syndromes of gastrointestinal malabsorption, and dietary inadequacy.

22
Q

How can you treat iron deficiency anemia? What foods would you recommend

A

 Iron rich foods and supplements

Dried beans
Dried fruits
Egg yolks
Iron-fortied cereals
Liver
Meat (especially lean red meat, poultry) Oysters
Salmon
Tuna
Whole grains

23
Q

Iron Supplement teachings for Patient/ Parent education

A

Liquid preparations of iron may temporarily stain the teeth. If possible, the medication should be taken through a straw or given through a syringe or medicine dropper placed toward the back of the mouth. Brushing the teeth after administration of the drug lessens the discoloration.

Cow’s milk contains substances that bind the iron and interfere with absorp- tion. Iron supplements should not be administered with milk or milk products

. Oral iron should be given as prescribed in two di- vided doses between meals, when the presence of free hydrochloric acid is greatest, because more iron is absorbed in the acidic environ- ment of the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract. A citrus fruit or juice taken with the medication aids in absorption.

Give supplements on empty stomach

 Black/green tarry stools normal with supplements

 Give to exclusively breast-fed babies by 4 months

24
Q

Is sickle cell anemia a congenital disorder?

A. No
B. Yes

A

B. Yes

Hereditary presence of HbS; an autosomal recessive trait

 Pathophysiology

 Sickling causes obstruction of vessels, vascular inflammation, RBC destruction

25
Q

S/S of Sickle cell disorder

A
26
Q

Effects of Sickle cell

A

Hemolysis
CVA (stroke) Paralysis Death
Retinopathy Blindness Hemorrhage
Avascular necrosis (shoulder)
Hepatomegaly Gallstones
Splenomegaly Splenic sequestration Autosplenectomy
Hematuria Hyposthenuria
(dilute urine) Avascular necrosis (hip) Abdominal pain
Dactylitis (hand-foot syndrome)
Priapism
Anemia Pain Osteomyelitis
Chronic ulcers (rare in children)

27
Q

What are the risk factors of Sicle cell crisis

A

*infection,
*stress,
*dehydration,
*trauma

28
Q

Types of crises

A

Types of crises
 Vaso-occlusive- “painful episode”
 Splenic sequestration - pooling of blood in the spleen
 Aplastic - decreased production of RBCs

29
Q
A

 Focus: Prevent sickling and treat crisis
 Oral/IV hydration
