discussion, case study: iron deficiency anemia and myocardial infarct

Name the contributing factors on J.D that might put her at risk to develop iron deficiency anemia.

Within the case study, describe the reasons why J.D. might be presenting constipation and or dehydration.

1. Why Vitamin B12 and folic acid are important on the erythropoiesis? What abnormalities their deficiency might cause on the red blood cells?
2. The gynecologist is suspecting that J.D. might be experiencing iron deficiency anemia.
   In order to support the diagnosis, list and describe the clinical symptoms that J.D. might have positive for Iron deficiency anemia.
3. If the patient is diagnosed with iron deficiency anemia, what do you expect to find as signs of this type of anemia? List and describe.
4. Labs results came back for the patient. Hb 10.2 g/dL; Hct 30.8%; Ferritin 9 ng/dL; red blood cells are smaller and paler in color than normal. Research list and describe for appropriate recommendations and treatments for J.D.

For patients at risk of developing coronary artery disease and patients diagnosed with acute myocardial infarct, describe the modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors.

1. What would you expect to see on Mr. W.G. EKG and which findings described on the case are compatible with the acute coronary event?
2. Having only the opportunity to choose one laboratory test to confirm the acute myocardial infarct, which would be the most specific laboratory test you would choose and why?
3. How do you explain that Mr. W.G temperature has increased after his Myocardial Infarct, when that can be observed and for how long? Base your answer on the pathophysiology of the event.
