    Anemia Case Study Essay

    These values are compared to accepted reference ranges to find abnormal values. According to JJ’s lab values, her RBC’s, Hgb and Hct are below the lower end of the reference ranges for all three values. These objective data provide evidence that JJ is anemic. To further classify the anemia and help determine the underlying cause, the MCV can be calculated by using the Hct and RBC values. It is determined that JJ’s MCV is 85 fL/cell, which is within the reference range of normocytic anemia (81-99 fL/cell). As mentioned above, one of the causes of normocytic anemia is acute blood loss. Since her PMH does not mention chronic disease or any other condition that would result in blood loss, the evidence suggests that JJ’s anemic condition is possibly due to acute blood loss during her…

I assessed the airway and carried out suction, then administered oxygen, but I did not do it immediately. She had vomited three times, keeping the airway patent and administrating oxygen are very important for postoperative care (Smith, 2010). In fact, concerning treatment of hypotension in PACU, should always begin with oxygen therapy to ensure hypo-perfused organs meet the need of oxygen (Smith, 2010). The common cause of hypotension is fluid loss, IV fluid boluses will be given to normalize blood pressure (Smith, 2010), which is the reason why the doctor ordered the IV and blood transfusion. When transfusing blood or blood components, assessment is required before, during, and after the transfusion. If the client has an intravenous line in place, assess the venipuncture site for signs of infection or infiltration and patency (Jantzen & Molzahn, 2010).
