Applying Clinical Judgment to Promote Nutrition for Hematologic Wellness
Iron deficiency anemia, characterized by low hemoglobin concentration and microcytic red blood cells, is the most common nutritional blood disorder in young children, pregnant women, and older adults
Practice this chapterIron deficiency anemia, characterized by low hemoglobin concentration and microcytic red blood cells, is the most common nutritional blood disorder in young children, pregnant women, and older adults Nutrient-related hematologic disorders include vitamin B 12 deficiency, vitamins C, K, and D deficiency, and folate deficiency
Delays in diagnosing excessive or deficient nutritional intake can lead to hematologic abnormalities resulting in life-threatening conditions. Accurate assessment of the client’s nutritional status with early intervention gives clients the best chance for recovery
macrocytic anemia — anemia that is marked by abnormally large red blood cells. Example: Folate and vitamin B 12 deficient anemia. microcytic anemia — anemia that is marked by abnormally small red blood cells. Example: Iron-deficient anemia. Transtheoretical Model (TTM) — an integrative model of behavior change that assesses an individual’s readiness to act on a healthier behavior and that provides strategies, or processes of change, to guide the…. pica — craving and chewing substances with no nutritional value such as ice, dirt, clay, and paper.
Be able to use of the TTM for nutrition educational interventions can provide clients a degree of motivation for successful restoration of hematologic wellness.
Worked example
What does “macrocytic anemia” mean in Applying Clinical Judgment to Promote Nutrition for Hematologic Wellness?
- 1Use the wording this chapter gives for macrocytic anemia.
- 2The book says: anemia that is marked by abnormally large red blood cells. Example: Folate and vitamin B 12 deficient anemia.
- 3Do not use the meaning of microcytic anemia. That term means anemia that is marked by abnormally small red blood cells. Example: Iron-deficient anemia.
Result: anemia that is marked by abnormally large red blood cells. Example: Folate and vitamin B 12 deficient anemia
Why. That is the meaning this chapter gives for macrocytic anemia.
Do not swap macrocytic anemia and microcytic anemia. macrocytic anemia means anemia that is marked by abnormally large red blood cells. Example: Folate and vitamin B 12 deficient anemia. microcytic anemia means anemia that is marked by abnormally small red blood cells. Example: Iron-deficient anemia.
