Why are enteric-coated or sustained-release capsules of iron counterproductive?
What is these capsules release farther down the GI tract and maximum absorption is not achieved because iron is best absorbed in the duodenum and jejunum.
200
These three components form granulocytes, name them and their functions.
What are neutrophils (fight infection), eosinophils (allergy responses), and basophils (allergy responses, also release heparin and histamine)
200
Patients with this have an increased risk of blood clots in the deep veins of the arms or legs due to the hyperviscosity of the blood.
What is polycythemia or erythrocytosis
200
Massive edema and tightness cause pressure and pain in the extremities affected by this. It progresses toward the trunk and is aggravated by standing, pressure, obesity, and warm, humid environments.
What is lymphedema
300
Atypical histiocytes consisting of large, abnormal, multinucleated cells in the lymph nodes found in Hodgkin's lymphoma.
What is Reed-Sternberg Cells (page 1524)
300
What is the normal range for hemoglobin?
What is 12-18 g/dL
300
Petechiae and ecchymoses on the skin are major signs of this.
What is Thrombocytopenia (page 1515)
300
Hemarthrosis is a clinical manifestation of what coagulation disorder?
What is hemophilia
300
What are the three basic functions of the lymphatic system?
What are maintenance of fluid balance, production of lymphocytes, and absorption and transportation of lipids from the intestine to the blood stream.
400
Abnormal increase in the number of circulating red blood cells.
What is Polycythemia or Erythrocytosis (page 1508)
400
This blood type is known as the universal recipient.
What is type AB (page 1493-1494)

A patient that experiences spontaneous nose bleeds will be taught to bend froward and pinch the bridge of the nose. This could be a manifestation of this inherited disease.
What is Von Willebrand's disease (page 1518)
400
Patients with hemolytic anemia (the red blood cells are broken down at an abnormally high rate) requires this medical procedure to prevent or decrease the need for transfusion.
What is splenectomy (removal of the spleen) page 1503
500
Acquired hemorrhage syndrome of clotting cascade over-stimulation and anti-clotting processes.
What is disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) (page 1519)

What is thrombocytopenia, 150,000 (page 1515)
500
This disease is believed to arise in a single location (the lymph nodes in 90% of the patients) and then spread along adjacent lymphatics. It eventually infiltrates other organs, especially the lungs, spleen, and liver.
