Ch 49 Anemia Drugs Part 1

After teaching a group of students about anemias, the instructor determines that the teaching was effective when the students identify what as the critical issue?

Altered red blood cell production or deficient functioning of red blood cells Anemias are disorders that involve too few or ineffective red blood cells that alter the ability of the blood to carry oxygen. They result from some alteration in erythropoiesis or the process of red blood cell production. White blood cells are associated with the immune response. Lack of vitamin B12 is associated with a specific type of anemia. Platelets are associated with blood clotting.
