Iron deficiency is the most common nutritional deficit worldwide and the most common cause of anaemia. Infection, chronic disease, and other nutritional deficiencies are also causes.
In children, iron deficiency anaemia is usually due to rapid periods of growth with an increased demand for iron that cannot be met with an iron-poor diet.
If not addressed, iron deficiency anaemia can lead to problems ranging from fatigue to cognitive impairment.
Iron deficiency may respond to dietary measures, but an increase in dietary iron is not sufficient to replenish the iron stores in frank iron deficiency anaemia. Iron supplementation will be required.
This child nursing module covers the causes and implications of iron deficiency anaemia and provides strategies for diagnosis, management, and prevention.
Although iron deficiency anaemia is a very common presentation in primary care, the principles covered in this module are applicable across the health continuum.
This module is one of three modules related to iron deficiency. They are linked and it is recommended that participants undertake all three modules:
Iron deficiency anaemia in adults
Iron deficiency anaemia in children
Intravenous Iron - safe administration
The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
