QuestionAnswer
what stimulates hematopoiesis? erythropoiten
what happens to the yellow bone marrow if the pt is anemic it turns red
what is the Gold standard dx? bone marrow biopsy
what is pt teaching in regards to bone marrow biopsy? pain on aspiration
when the liver is not fx, what builds up? Ammonia (NH3)
what is plasma composed of? 91% water, protein, glucose, hormones, clotting factores, electrolytes, gases, nutrients and wastes
what's the difference between bands and segs? neutrophils segs are more mature
what are blast cells? blast are precursors in the marrow over a period of five days, then become reticulocytes
what gives a RBC it's color? heme
sickle cell pts produce abnormal what? reticulocytes
reticulocytes are produced via what system? negative feedback
when a person has kidney failure, what is decreased? the amount of erythropoiten produced
stem cells go through what? differentiation to become a WBC/RBC/erythrocyte. It becomes a more specialized cell.
what is Hct? it's 3x the amount of Hb- it's the % of packed RBC in whole blood
MCH is used to determine what? iron content
MCHC is used to determine what? monitors the response to therapy- it's the amount of HB in each RBC (Hb/Hct)
when do shistocytes appear? during hemolysis(they are RBC fragments)
dehydration does what to the Hct? causes a false high
what happens to K+ w/hemolysis? since there's usually more inside the cell, they come out- so serum K+ must be checked
hypoxia, blood loss & high altitudes cause what? erythropoisis (increases blood viscosity/Hct)
those w/COPD experience what? constant erythropoises
where are monocytes stored? 30% in the spleen
what is in a basophil? granulocytes consisting of histamine, heparin & seratonin
when do bands occur? during acute trauma, and infx (shift to the left)
what type of pt would have a high priority? one w/low WBC
when do u see eosinophils? during an allergic response, and against parasites (found mostly in lungs and GI)
what happens to a person's plt count w/a splenectomy? it goes up
what are macrophages in the liver called? In the bone/lungs? Kuffer cells (liver), osteoclasts (bone), alveolar macrophages (lungs)
what is a normal ANC count? what's abnormal? normal >1500, neutropenia is < 500
what damages the BM? chemo- high infx risk
what is reverse isolation? dressing up to keep the pt free from infx (ANC <1000)
what are megakaryocytes precursors to plts
what is nadir? the lowest anount of WBC count after chemo
what is the difference w/Nupogen and Epogen one inc neutrophils, the other inc RBC
where is iron absorbed? the duodenum and upper jejunum
how is iron stored? as heme in Hb or as ferritin and hemosiderin (degrated ferritin)- when RBC dies, macrophages engulf/degrade it, producing hemosiderin. It binds to transferrin or gets stored as ferritin/hemosiderin
what are 4 comonentd of hemostasis? 1. vascular response (PAIN & vasoconstriction to limit loss) 2. platelet plug formation 3. fibrin clot on platelet plug by clotting factors 4.lysis of clot
what is the plt stickiness called? adhesiveness
what are plt clumps called? aggregation/agglutination
lysis of a clot happens in what 2 steps? 1. Antithrombin- interfere w/thrombin 2. fibrinolysis- dissolution of the fibrin clot- usually done through the enzymatic action of plasmin
when is the spleen able to have hematopoitic ability? during fetal development- lost @ birth
what are the fx of the spleen? hematopoietic, filtration, immunologic (lymphocytes, monocytes & immunoglobulins), & storage
what would happen if the spleen were removed? inc risk for infx
what could a complication of lymphedema be? and what do u not do? complication of masectomy or lumpectomy- NO IV or B/P
what does the liver produce? it produces hepcidin- a key regulator of iron balance
the elderly have decreased levels of what after middle age? Hb (dec heme & iron), # of cells, slight dec MCHCq
what stays the same in the elderly? plts, wbc count & differential
The elderly are at risk for what? iron deficiency anemia
what is the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (sed rate)? marker for acute inflammation 9how fast the RBC settle @ the bottom of a centrifuge)
dx for iron metabolism entails... serum iron, total iron-binding capacity (TIBC), serum ferritin, transferrin saturation
what are antigens labeled A & B
absence of both antigens is... Type O
presence of both antigens is Type AB
1/2 the population is what type? Type O- the universal donor
what happens when an Rh negative woman is caring an Rh+ baby? The 1st pregnancy, nothing happens. The 2nd pregnancy, the mom must take ROGAM to prevent Ab from attacking baby's RBC
what nursing intervention is done post BM biopsy? pressure on site for 10-15 minutes- make sure no bleeding, esp w/ASA and coumadin, have pt lie face down or on their side
how much iron should a pt have daily and when? 150-200 1 hr before meal and w/OJ
Never Let Monkeys Eat Bananas neutrophils 50-70%, lymphocytes 20-40%, monocytes 4-8%, eosinophils 2-4%, basophils 0-2%
