AB This  condition  is  due  to  the  decreased  quantity  or  quality  of  red  blood  cells  and  results  in  a  decline  in  the  capacity  of  the  blood  to  carry  oxygen.  Anemia  is  considered  a  sign  of  any  disorder  that  affects  the  production,  normal  destruction,  or  loss  of  red  blood  cells.  Anemia  is  defined  by  hemoglobin  levels  of  less  than  12  g/100  dL  for  women  and  less  than  14  g/100  dL  for  men.  Clients  may  experience  anemia  as  a  temporary  result  of  an  injury  or  disease  process  or  may  need  ongoing  treatments  to  maintain  an  adequate  supply  of  oxygen  in  the  blood  stream.  Clients  with  anemia  may  experience  fatigue,  dyspnea,  and  weakness,  which  will  limit  their  daily  activities.
