NURS 6501 Anemia blood disorder Discussion
NURS 6501 Anemia blood disorder Discussion
In clinical settings, advanced practice nurses often
encounter patients with blood disorders such as anemia. Consider the case of a
17-year-old girl who is rushed to the emergency room after suddenly fainting.
The girl’s mother reports that her daughter has had difficulty concentrating
for the past week, frequently becomes dizzy, and has not been eating normally
due to digestion problems. The mother also informs the nurse that their family
has a history of anemia. With the family history of anemia, it appears that
this is the likely diagnosis. However, in order to properly diagnose and treat
the patient, not only must her symptoms and family history be considered, but
also factors such as gender, ethnicity, age, and behavior. This poses the
question: How do patient factors impact the incidence and prevalence of
different types of anemia?
To prepare:
Review Chapter 20 in the Huether and McCance text. Reflect
on the pathophysiological mechanisms of iron deficiency anemia.
Select one of the following types of anemia: pernicious
anemia, folate deficiency anemia, sideroblastic anemia, chronic inflammation
anemia, or post-hemorrhagic anemia. Identify the pathophysiological mechanisms
of the anemia you selected.
Consider the similarities and differences between iron
deficiency anemia and the type of anemia you selected.
Reflect on how patient factors such as genetics, gender,
ethnicity, age, and behavior might impact these anemic disorders.
By Day 3
Post an explanation of the pathophysiological mechanisms of
iron deficiency anemia and the anemia you selected. Compare these two types of
anemia, as well as their potential causes. Finally, explain how genetics,
gender, ethnicity, age, and behavior might impact the anemic disorders you
selected.
Read a selection of your colleagues’ responses.
By Day 6
Respond to at least two of your colleagues on two different
days who selected different types of anemia than you, in the following ways:
Share insights on how the anemia you selected is similar to
or different from the one your colleague selected.
Discuss how genetic, gender, ethnic, age, and behavioral
factors impact the diagnosis and prescription of treatment for anemic patients.
