A patient presents in the ER with a severely low hemoglobin and hematocrit count. Symptomatology includes listlessness, pale, pallor, and hypotensive. The initial assumption is blood loss via the gastrointestinal tract. As either an FNP or an AG-ACNP student, provide an initial evaluation for either a pediatric or an adult patient.

Pallor is a medical term used to descibe paleness (loss of colour) of the skin and mucous membranes (like the insides of the eyelids,tongue and pink areas in your mouth).So instead of these areas having their nice normal pink colour, they look more whiter or pale.allor may be very difficult to detect in a dark-skinned person -- sometimes it is apparent only in the eye and mouth lining. Paleness may be the result of decreased blood supply to the skin (cold, fainting, shock, hypoglycemia) or decreased number of red blood cells (anemia).
