A&P or Labs
Normal range is 150,000- 400,000
Platelet Count
Disease that results from the body's inability to absorb vitamin B12
Pernicious Anemia
Abnormal hematologic condition in which the number of platelets is reduced to fewer than 150,000
Thrombocytopenia
Grave coagulopathy resulting from the overstimulation of clotting and anticlotting processes in response to disease or injury, including septicemia, obstetric complications, burns, etc
Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation (DIC)
Main organs of the lymphatic system
Lymph nodes, Tonsils, Spleen, and Thymus
A substance in the blood that carries oxygen from the lungs to the cells and carbon dioxide away from the cells to the lungs
Hemoglobin (Hgb)
Primary nursing diagnosis associated with anemia disorders
Ineffective Tissue Perfusion
Disorder in which bleeding into a joint space, is a hallmark of severe disease and usually occurs in the knees, ankles, elbows, shoulders, and hips
(hemarthrosis) Hemophilia
Needed for erythropoiesis; increases RBC, WBC, and platelet formation in megaloblastic anemias
folic acid, B complex vitamin
One function of the lymphatic system
Maintenance of fluid balance; production of lymphocytes; absorption and transportation of lipids from the intestine to the bloodstream
A body process that arrests the flow of blood and prevents hemorrhage. Occurs in three actions.
Hemostasis
Anxiety or agitation; confusion; cool & clammy skin; hypotension; low body temperature; decreased or no urine output; tachycardia; generalized weakness
Signs and Symptoms of Hypovolemia
Aspirin; Digitalis derivatives; furosemide; NSAIDs; oral hypoglycemics; anticoagulants
Medications associated with coagulation disorders (thrombocytopenic effects)
Factors decreased in association with Von Willebrand's disease
Factor vWF (von Willebrand's) and Factor VIII
Primary or secondary disorder characterized by the accumulation of lymph in soft tissue and edema
Lymphedema
Universal recipient blood type AND Universal donor blood type (In the correct order)
Type AB (and) Type O
Potentially fatal condition characterized by a severe reduction in the number of granulocytes
Agranulocytosis
Laboratory tests used specifically for determining bleeding time
PT/ PTT/ INR
Medication used to promote reabsorption of water by kidneys and increase in plasma factor VIII levels, which increases platelet aggregation, resulting in vasopressor effect
desmopressin acetate (DDAVP)
Constitutional symptoms include night sweats, fevers, or weight loss greater than 10%
B symptoms of Hodgkin Lymphoma
The breakdown of WBCs into categories of granulocytes includes:
Neutrophils, Eosinophils, Basophils, Monocytes, and Lymphocytes
Affects myeloid cells and grows quickly. More than 19,000 new cases will be diagnosed annually. While it occurs in both adults and children the majority of cases will be in adults.
Acute Myeloid leukemia (AML)
Can receive from Type AB+
(+) AB
Acute liver failure; Organ destruction; Severe tissue damage; HELLP syndrome; Sepsis; autoimmune disorders; hematologic disorders; malignancy; retained fetal syndrome
Disorders usually associated with DIC
Age range and pathophysiology of Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma
Malignant neoplasms of B and T cell origin; Ages 65-74
