What is th extrinsic pathway
it is activated by the release of thromboplastin from the tissue. Resulting prothrombin to thrombin which changes fribrinogen to fibrin
how much iron is normally stored in the body
3 g
how much iron is normally absorbed by the body
0.5 - 1 mg
what is the intrinsic pathway
activated when the collagen that lines blood vessels is exposed. Clotting factors activated as with the extrinsic pathway with fibrin ultimately formed.
what is plasminogen
after the fibrin clot is no longer needed, plasminogen is required to break it down as plasmin. and the degraded products are released into the vascular system.
What cells have their activity in the spleen
Macrophages derived from monocytes
where does hemotopoiesis occur
in the bone marrow, (but can in the spleen in fetal life and in later adulthood when the bone marrow can't)
what are 2 sourses of iron loss for the elderly,
how do you test for it
GI bleeding
nutritional deficiency
by the occult blood of the stool
which diagnosis is most appropriate for iron deficiency anemia?

deficient fluid volume
impaired gas exchange
ineffective airway clearance
ineffective breathing pattern
impaired gas exchange
A finding that most strongly supports a diagnosis of acute leukemia is the presence of a large number of immature:
monocytes
basophils
thrombocytes
leukocytes
leukemia is manifested by abnormal overproduction of immature leukocytes in the bone marrow.
increase in monocytes = viral infection
increase in basophils = allergic reaction
increase in thrombocytes=polycythemia
Bone Marrow Aspiration - why is it done, where
done to evaluate hematopoiesis (size, shape of RBC, WBC and platelets)
from posterior illiac crest
Major risk factor of bone marrow aspiration
infection
main nursing consideration
Pain control
Is anemia a disease,
what are the major causes (6)
no, it is a underlying disorder sign.
dietary deficiency(chronic)
hereditary disorder (thalessmia Major)
bone marrow damage (radiation)
malignancy
overactive spleen
bleeding
What is hypoproliferative anemia
decrease or defective production of RBCs
what are diagnositc labs, procedures for anemia
CBC (for RBC, WBCs Platelets
hgb
hct
cellular morphology
sedimentation rate
what are diagnositc labs, procedures for anemia
CBC (for RBC, WBCs Platelets
hgb
hct
cellular morphology
sedimentation rate
What are coagulation panels prior to bone marrow aspiration
PT (measures intrinsic pathway) and INR
PTT (extrinsic)
platelet count
fibrinogen
d-dimer
fibrin degradation products
What are coagulation panels prior to bone marrow aspiration
PT (measures intrinsic pathway) and INR
PTT (extrinsic)
platelet count
fibrinogen
d-dimer
fibrin degradation products
a nurse is administering B12 to a client w/pernicious anemia, what admin route should the nurse use
Parental route, IM or SQ
what are potential complications of anemia
heart failure, angina, paresthesia, confusion
megaloblastic anemia to neurologic
s/s of anemia
weakness, fatigue, general malaise, pallor of skin and mucous membranes
megaloblastic anemia, or hemolytic s/s
jaundice (tongue beefy red and sore) angular cheilosis
s/s iron def anemia
tongue smooth and red, angular cheilosis
assessment of anemia pt includes
heath history/family history
nutritional assessment
cardiac status
assess GI
neurologic examination
labs

megaloblastic anemia, or hemolytic s/s
jaundice (tongue beefy red and sore) angular cheilosis
s/s iron def anemia
tongue smooth and red, angular cheilosis
What are major nursing diagnosis of anemia
Fatigue
alt nutrition
alt tissue perfusion
assessment of anemia pt includes
heath history/family history
nutritional assessment
cardiac status
assess GI
neurologic examination
labs
s/s iron def anemia
tongue smooth and red, angular cheilosis
top nursing interventions for anemia
assist pt to prioritize activities and establish balance between activity and rest
nutrition of anemia
iron, b12, folic acid, protein, decrease milk w/iron (decrease absorption)
increase vit C
Major goals of anemia nursing care
decrease fatigue, attain adequate nutrition, attain adequate tissue perfusion
What is aplastic anemia
T-cells attack bone marrow resulting in aplasia - decrease hematoporeisis. so in addition to anemia, neurtropenia and thrombocytopenia are seen
what is the cause of aplastic anemia
benzenes, chemicals - airplane glue, DDT
how do you diagnose aplastic anemia
bone marrow aspiration shows marrow replaced w/fat cells
what is the treatment for aplastic anemia
bone marrow transplant < 60, then immunosuppressive therapy
what are 3 phases of chemotherapy
1. induction - (high dose), to destroy leukemic cells (irradication of WBC )
2. consolidation - after complete remission all resolves. increase WBC w/neupogen
3. maintenance - low dose 3-4 weeks
in regards to bleeding disorders what is the primary mechanism of hemostasis
the blood vessels constrict
in regards to bleeding disorders what is the secondary mechanism of hemostasis
reinforcement of platelet plug - intrinsic or extrinsic pathway
What is pernicious anemia and its cause
from deficiency of intrinsic factor necessary for intestinal absorption. Different than just B12 def from eating.
s/s of pernicious anemia
severe pallor, fatigue, wt loss, smooth beefy red tongue, parathesias of hands and feet. diturbances w/gait and blanace.
what is managment of pernicious anemia
