Labs
Measures stored iron in the body, helping assess iron levels and potential deficiencies or overload.
What is ferritin looking at
Hand hygiene, limit visitors, avoid crowded areas, no fresh flowers, well cooked food, and wear a mask.
What is neutropenic Precautions
clotting and anticlotting mechanisms occur at the same time.
What is DIC
ferrous sulfate, vitamin C
What is Iron deficiency anemia medication
external radiation therapy
What is teletherapy?
Measures the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen.
What is hemoglobin
Avoid close contact, Use PPE (gloves, gown, and mask). Separate and double bag laundry. Double flush and double glove when dealing with body fluids.
What is Chemo Precautions
It is a coagulopathy that is an autoimmune disorder in which the lifespan of a platelet is decreased by anti platelet antibodies although platelet production is normal.
What is ITP
hydration, pain management, transfusion monitoring, protect joints
internal radiation therapy
5,000-10,000
What is WBC count?
Limit contact, maintain distance, safe disposal of medical waste, Shields to prevent radiation exposure, separate room, no pregnant visitor or healthcare workers.
What is radiation Precaution
immunity-mediated clotting disorder that causes unexplained low blood platelet count as a result of treatment with heparin.
What is HIT
The majority of cases are idiopathic caused by T-cell destroying stem cells in the bone marrow. This causes either a reduction or cessation in the production of erythrocytes, thrombocytes, and leukocytes.
What is Aplastic anemia
destroys cancer cells with minimal exposure to good cells- targeted directly at cancer cells
What is radiation
Heparin and warfarin therapeutic range lab
What is aPTT (Heparin)and PT (Warfarin)
R: no razors
A: no aspirin
N: only small gauge needles
D:decreased amount of needle sticks
I: protect from injury
S: soft toothbrush
M: Manual BP
I: no inserting suppository
T: no rectal temps
H: have no floss
What is bleeding precaution
platelets abnormally clump together in capillaries due to an autoimmune reaction from platelet aggregation resulting in an insufficient quantity of circulation. Inappropriate clotting occurs and clotting fails to occur during trauma,
What is TTP
Corticosteroids, immunoglobulins, packed RBC or Plt transfusion, thrombopoietin receptor agonists
What is Thrombocytopenia medications
Drug used to kill or inhibit the growth of cancer cells. Can have severe side effects due to its non selective nature which affects the healthy cells as well.
What is chemotherapy
Protamine Sulfate and Vitamin K (phytonadione)
What is Heparin and Warfarin antidotes
PPE (N95, gown, gloves, eye shield)
Negative air pressure room and private room
When patient leaving the room wear surgical mask
What is Airborne precaution
is a coagulation disorder that occurs due to a reduction or deficiency in clotting factors VIII, IX, and XI. The reduction or absence of clotting factors results in a disruption in the clotting mechanisms of the body, which leads to prolonged bleeding.
trauma, serious lacerations and injuries
T- tumor size and extent
N- regional lymph node involvement
M- metastasis
What is staging a cancer
