Q

patho of iron deficient anemia

A

Stem cells, to erythroblast, to reticulocytes, to erythrocytes. This is called erythropoiesis, this is RBC replacement, Iron is essentail for this to happen

Q

patho of pernicious anemia

A

Vit B12 bound to protiens in foos. THis is called intrinsic factor. Made in stomach helps the intestines absorb. In this anemia IFA binds to intrinisc absorption of vit B12

Q

Presentation of pernisious anemia

A

Re, sore, shiny tongue, N and V, anorexia, ABD pain after eating drining, muscle weakness, paresthia (damage to neurone) all because O2 is not getting to tissue

25
aplastic anemia
the boen marrow fails to produce enough RBC, WBC, and platelets
26
Chemo, radiation, adn herediatry can casue what anemia
aplastic anemia
27
Assessment for aplastic anemia
low WBC, HGB, Platelets System assessments: resp, cvs, inf, bleeding
28
Do for aplastic
ID cause, transfusions, antibiotics, Chronic immunosuppressant, bone marrow transplant, anti T-cell
29
Patho of acute anemia
sudden hemorrhage, diminished volume, diminished O2
30
Chronic anemia pathogen
Iron deficient, GI bleed, menstuation
31
Sick cell disease
mosts common is African/asian decent they mutated to fight malaria, joint swelling nad pain -Abnormal adult hemoglobin. RBC are stiff and changing shape into sickles
32
Clinical manifestation of sickle cell anemia
brain (paralysis, thrombosis) , lungs (pulmonary hypertension, pnuemonia), kidneys(renal failure), bones, joints (hand-foot syndrome), liver (hepatomegaly), skin (ulcers), penis, spleen, heart, eyes (Blindness, retinopathy)
33
Sickling event
triggered by O2, inf, low atmospheric O2, stress, dehydration
34
Sickling crisis
severe painful, acute, blood flow occluded, hypoxia, clot formation, shock
35
treatment for sickle cell anemia
stem cell transplant, bone marrow transplant, transfusion, fluids, pain releive, O2, antibiotics, vaccines, assess sttroke risk
36
Aquired anemia
caused by nutritional deficites, chronic disease, bone marrow disorders
37
Thrombocytopenia
reduction of platelets to an ampunt below 150. Acute or prolonged state. Caused from abnormal homeostasis
38
Heparin induced thrombocytopenia
a complication caused by heparin that casuses a decrease in platelets in the blood. Stop heparin!!!
39
Hemophilia
genetic bleeding disorder in which blood does not clot properly
40
Hemarthorisis
bleeding into hoints that causes pain, swelling, and long term joint damage
41
assess for hemophilia
bleeding, bruising, joints, bleeding into brain
42
Do for hemophilia
factors, PTT, INR, Platelets, transfuse, replace missing factor
43
Von Willebrands
blood glycol protien protmotes hemostasis. specifically platelet adhesion. Most common congenital bleeding disorder, affects males and females,
44
Von Willebrands types
Type 1: most common, levels are low Type 2: Factor sosen't function properly Type 3: Rare, the factor is completely absent
45
Symptoms of Von Willebrand
Excessive bleeding, nose bleeds that don't stop in 10 mins, heacy or long mestural bleeding, blood in urine or stool, easy bruising lumpy
46
Teaching for Von willebrand
Razors, aspirin, toothbrushes
47
Optimum nutrition
The amoutn od nutrients are enough to meet the metabolic needs. Lowers the risk of chronic disease
48
Under nutrients
nutritional needs depleted, inadequete to meet metabolic demand
49
Risk for Undernutrition
socail isolation, disease processes, homelessness, poverty, emotional, can't eat or won't eat
50
Food affordability
adequate income is avaible to obtain nutitious foods
51
Food availibilty
adequate ampounts of nutrious foods are consistently available
52
Malnourishment symptoms in adults vs children
adults: feeling cold, unintended weight loss, chronic exhaustion, slow wound healing, weak muscles, reduced concentration. Kids: Stunted growth, reduced enegery, unusual irritability, delayed developement
53
Obesity
above normal increase in proportion of fat cells in the body, genetics, food availability, mental, physical, socail
54
primary obesity
calorie intake is greater than metabolic need
55
Secondary obesity
congenital/chronimosmal/metabolic
56
Leptin
adipocytes, supresses appetite and hunger, regulates eating behaviour. obeisity is associated with high leptin levels, have dofficulty suppression
57
Insulin
Pancreas produces, decreases appetite, levels are frequenlty high
58
Ghrelin
Stimulates appetite, normal does not decline
59
Peptide YY
Decending colon and rectum. Inhbits appetite by slowing Gi motality and gatric emptying
60
non modifiable obeisity
genetics, age, endocrine disorder hypothyroidism, cushings, prayer-wili syndrome
61
Prader-willi syndrome
rare genetic disorder, key feature is a constatn sense fo hunger, want to eat constanly because you never feel, defects chromome 15
62
Gynoid obeisity and possible complication
Glutofemoral adipose tissue accumulation -osteoporosis, varicose veins, cellulite, elevated triglycerides
63
Android obeisity and possible complications
abdominal adipose tissue accumulation -Heart disease, diabetes, metablolic syndrome
64
Common disease caused by over nutrition
diabetes, sleep apnea, CVD, Cancer, liverdisease, osteoporosis, gull bladder, gut, arthritis
65
ABCD nutritional assessment
A: anthropometric measurements b: Biochmical tests C: Clinical observation D: Det
66
Anthropometric measurements
Height, weight, BMI
67
Goals for BMI
18.5-24.9
68
Waist to hip ratio
wast in CM/Hip by cm goal is below 0.
69
Clinical observations for obeisity
vital signs, head to toe, nutritional, systems
70
Do for diabetes
Weight loss (meds), nutritionist, Bariatric surgery, gastric banding, diversion surgery, gastric bypass
