Here's some key critical thinking points to know about aplastic anemia for your med surg class:
🩸Increasing iron won't help (this is a bone marrow problem!)
🩸Anemia happens because the bone marrow can't make enough RBCs = blood cell counts will be ⬇️
🩸All of the signs and symptoms link back to the patho (low blood cells): Low RBCs = less blood to the organs = lethargy, SOB, pale skin, etc.
🧠 Memory trick: "a" means without, "plastic/plasia" means formation. = no formation of the red blood cells
⚡️Major NCLEX point: Watch for infections because these pts are immunocompromised!
💜 I know there's a million and one things you need to know about in nursing school, but just remember my friend, God chose you for a reason. He called you, so He will equip you.
God's got you, future Kingdom Nurse!!
