    C. Schedule Mrs. G for an upper GI series
    D. Obtain stool for occult blood

    ____ 4. Despite adherence to oral iron therapy of 2 weeks, your elderly patient with IDA demonstrates a
    drop in his hemoglobin from 8.4 to 7.4. He is complaining of fatigue, dyspnea, and heart racing. You
    would change his therapy by which of the following:
    A. Schedule patient for outpatient parenteral iron infusion
    B. Switch to a different form of oral therapy
    C. Schedule patient for outpatient blood transfusion

    therapy, all of the following instructions should be reviewed except:

    B. Meat, fish, poultry, beans, and green leafy vegetables are good dietary sources of
    iron
    C. Adding vitamin D daily enhances absorption of iron
    D. Common GI side effects of iron therapy include constipation, nausea, and black
    stools
    ____ 6. When interpreting laboratory data, you would expect to see the following in a patient with Anemia
    of Chronic Disease (ACD):
    A. Hemoglobin <12 g/dl, Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV) decreased, Mean
    Corpuscular Hemoglobin (MCH) decreased
    B. Hemoglobin >12 g/dl, Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV) increased, Mean
    Corpuscular Hemoglobin (MCH) increased
    C. Hemoglobin <12 g/dl, Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV) normal, Mean
    Corpuscular Hemoglobin (MCH) normal
    D. Hemoglobin >12 g/dl, Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV) decreased, Mean
    Corpuscular Hemoglobin (MCH) increased
    ____ 7. The pathophysiological hallmark of ACD is:
    A. Depleted iron stores
    B. Impaired ability to use iron stores
    C. Chronic uncorrectable bleeding
    D. Reduced intestinal absorption of iron
