3... Iron deficiency anemia can result in less oxygen reaching the cells and tissues, causing activity intolerance. An indication that a 9-month-old child is tolerating activity and that iron deficiency anemia is resolving would be the child’s maintaining a respiratory rate of less than 40 (within a normal range for this age) during activity. Tachycardia (HR > 150), decreased alertness, and muscle weakness are all signs that iron deficiency anemia is not resolving and activity tolerance is not improving.
