From the author: Patients on dialysis are exposed to a wide variety of factors that can independently affect the stability of hemoglobin levels. While some of these factors are controllable, many are difficult or impossible to modify, and intrapatient variations in hemoglobin are therefore expected. When variability increases the risk of hemoglobin falling below 11.0 g/dL, protocol-guided nursing responses should include patient-specific laboratory trend analyses, data-driven adjustments in the anemia management prescription, and accurate nursing documentation of assessments, interventions, and outcomes.
