Instructions
Using the Anemia Comparison Table Template (Word), complete the table to describe and compare the anemias listed. Be sure to include the following for each anemia:
- Etiology—Discuss common etiologies and causes.
- What are the pathophysiologic changes that occur during each of the types of anemia?
- Symptoms—What subjective symptoms will the patient display?
- Signs—What objective signs will the patient exhibit?
- Blood Smear Findings/Classification—How is this anemia classified? Thinking about how the pathophysiologic process affects the cells, what would you expect to see in a peripheral blood smear?
- Correction/Prevention—How can the abnormal anemic state be returned to homeostasis? How can it be prevented?
This assignment will be graded complete/incomplete, but keep in mind that this is an excellent way not only prepare for your quiz but to develop a reference tool you can use as you develop your practice.
Please be sure to use evidence-based, peer-reviewed journals that have been published within the past three to five years, in addition to your textbook and course materials. Have fun!
