Mrs. Rodriguez has a bleeding ulcer and has lost her appetite. She appears

pale and lethargic when she comes in for a physical. She proves to be
anemic and her RBCs are large and pale. What mineral supplements should
be ordered?

Hello!

Iron should be ordered. It is possible she has hemorrhagic anemia compounded by iron loss.
