The patient is discharged with a plan to continue medications including amlodipine, vitamin B12, and darbepoetin alfa injections. Exercise recommendations include starting slowly and listening to the body, taking breaks as needed, and aiming for 150-300 minutes per week through activities like yoga, walking, or climbing stairs. Treatment for anemia includes oral or IV iron supplements, foods high in iron, or blood transfusions. Health teaching focuses on a healthy diet, hydration, exercise, avoiding triggers, handwashing, monitoring symptoms, and taking iron supplements as prescribed.

ENVIRONMENNT/EXERCISE Here’s how different types of exercise benefit :
Start off slow, start the patient's workout slowly
and progressively increase the intensity over time. Stick to lower intensity workouts, too, like a yoga class or a walk rather than a run or high-intensity interval training (HIIT) workout. Taking breaks often encourages the patient to always listen to the body. If you feel tired, pause and assess . Pushing themselves to the limit is not necessary, so if the patient feels exhausted, sit down and catch the patient's breath. Waiting it out might be the best option. Shortening patients' workouts any amount of exercise is better than getting at least 150 minutes of moderate activity or 75 minutes of more intense exercise each week. Getting closer to 300 minutes of moderate exercise or 150 minutes of strenuous activity on a weekly basis, however, provides even greater health benefits. Shorter workouts, such as walking around the block or climbing stairs, add up and contribute to the patients weekly physical activity goal.
TREATMENT Iron supplements taken by mouth.
Foods high in iron and foods that help your body absorb iron (like foods with Vitamin C). Iron given through an intravenous (IV) infusion. (This is often a choice if you have chronic kidney disease, or CKD.) Transfusions of red blood cellS.
HEALTH TEACHING Medical management includes :
Following a healthy diet.
Drinking enough water to stay hydrated. Exercising regularly. If you have been weak, you should begin exercising cautiously. Check with your healthcare provider about ways to exercise safely. Avoiding exposure to chemicals that set off anemia. Washing your hands often to avoid infection. Talking to your doctor about any changing symptoms. Keeping track of your symptoms by writing them down.
OUT-PATIENT Instruct the patient to consume iron-rich foods to
help build-up hemoglobin stores. Iron supplements. Enforce strict compliance in taking iron supplements as prescribed by the physician.
