an essential mineral found in hemoglobin,myoglobin and many enzymes use : resolution or prevention of iron deficiency anemia side effects: hypotension, flushing, skin staining at IM site • IM, IV (Adults and Children >15 kg): Iron deficiency—Total dose (ml) = 0.0476 ×(14.8 - actual Hgb) × lean body weight (kg) + 1 mL/per 5 kg lean body weight (up to maximum of 14 mL). Divided up and given in small daily doses until total is reached; not to exceed 100 mg/day. Total dose IV infusion—Total dose may be diluted and infused over 4–5 hr following a test dose of 10 drops (unlabeled). Assess nutritional status and dietary history to determine possible cause of anemia and need for patient teaching • Assess bowel function for constipation or diarrhea. Notify health care professional and use appropriate nursing measures should these occur • Monitor blood pressure and heart rate frequently following IV administration until stable. Rapid infusion rate may cause hypotension and flushing • Assess patient for signs and symptoms of anaphylaxis (rash, pruritus, laryngeal edema, wheezing). Notify health care professional immediately if these occur. Keep epinephrine and resuscitation equipment close by in the event of an anaphylactic reaction |
