Anemia Breakdown Masterclass

One, two, three, let's screen the line Getting ready for the NCLEX

time (ooh-ooh)

Hemoglobin checks, the numbers you should know

Twelve to eighteen is the normal steady flow But if it's eight

to eleven, the risk begins to grow And below seven?

It's heaven or a blood transfusion show

If before surgery they're low,

you better let them know

(yeah) Report to

HCP and the surgeon on the go

Watch the pale, dusky skin with the cool clammy touch Fatigue and

weakness, they're losing too much Hemoglobin to Hematocrit,

the ratio is clear One to three is the golden rule we

hold dear

Twelve to thirty-six, or eighteen to fifty-four Keep those numbers right behind

the clinic door

Now let's talk Hematocrit,

normal thirty-six to fifty-four percent

If that value is elevated,

dehydration is what it meant Decreased means fluid overload,

bleeding, or malnutrition's trace For a GI bleed with thirty percent,

report the low space

(report it) Saunder's tip to keep you safe

in the clinic race

Red blood cells, four to six million on the chart

Low is anemia, renal failure of the heart

Treat with iron and erythropoietin to start High labs mean a dry

body, dehydration in part CBC,

WBC, we know every single piece

Watch the pale, dusky skin with the cool clammy touch Fatigue and

weakness, they're losing too much Hemoglobin to Hematocrit,

the ratio is clear

One to three is the golden rule we hold dear

Twelve to thirty-six, or eighteen to fifty-four Keep those numbers right behind

the clinic door (ooh-ooh)

Remember below seven, heaven's gate or blood line One to three ratio,

you'll do just fine Complete Blood Count,

clinical design Pass that test,

let your knowledge shine (yeah)
