A 35 year old female saw her doctor complaining of headaches, dizziness and nausea. The headaches had been increasing in severity over the last 6 month. This was coincident with her move into an old house built in about 1900. She had been renovating the house, including stripping paint from the woodwork. Her CBC results demonstrated a hypochromic, microcytic anemia. The doctor ordered a bone marrow aspirate and many ringed sideroblasts were noted on the smear. What is the most likely cause of her anemia? a-sideroblastic anemia b-aplastic anemia c-megaloblastic anemia d-hemolytic anemia

pathophysiology Dory Smith (DS) is an 18-year-old high school student who began to experience weight loss despite a ravenous appetite and resulting increased dietary intake. She makes frequent trips to the bathroom to urinate and has difficulty concentrating on her work because of fatigue. She drinks large volumes of coffee to help with a constant dry mouth and to combat her fatigue. At a clinic appointment, it was noted that DS’s weight has dropped from 140 lb. to 128 lb. She is 5 feet, 7 inches tall. Her urine specimen shows glycosuria and ketonuria. Blood glucose level is 412 mg/dL. DK had eaten breakfast 3 hours before the blood test. DS needs to understand the signs and symptoms of hypoglycemia so that she can quickly intervene to prevent life-threatening complications. How can she recognize hypoglycemia when it occurs?
