  2. Build up to 30 minutes of exercise slowly
37
Q

PT Teaching R/T Cellular Regulation

-Risk for injury

A
  1. W/ bleeding disorders, Pt’s are at risk for increased bleeding

Some Bleeding disorders;
-Children should not play any contact sports

38
Q

PT Teaching R/T Cellular Regulation

-Safety

A
  1. Medication Safety - In older adults
    - Make sure pt’s know what they are taking and that they are taking the right dose. Make sure pt’s know both generic and trade names of meds
39
Q

PT Teaching R/T Cellular Regulation

-Balance of Rest and sleep activity

A
  1. Sleep is important to the body to allow regeneration and repair of the body
40

Diagnostic Tests

-Body Fluid study

A
  1. Urinalysis
  2. Lumbar puncture
  3. Removal of fluid from the lungs or the abdomen
47
Q

RBC’s

-Biconcave Disk

A
  1. Biconcave disk increases the surface area allowing for more diffusion of Oxygen
48
Q

RBC’s

-Reticulocyte

A
  1. Immature Red Blood Cell

2. Early warning sign of a pt with anemia

49
Q

Normal Hgb Level

A
  1. Female - 12-16

2. Male - 14-18

50
Q

Normal Hct Level

A
  1. If there is no way to check Hct levels you can use the Hgb level and multiply it by X3

Male 40-54%
Female 38-47%

51
Q

MCV

A

Mean Corpuscular Volume
1. MCV tells the size of the cell

Microcytic anemia - small cell anemia -

52
Q

MCH

A
  1. Mean Corpuscular Hgb
    - Shows the appearance of the cell
    - Does the cell look normal or pale

Hypo-Chromic -

53
Q

Erythropoietin

A
  1. Hormone made in the kidney that helps with the creation of RBC’s
54
Q

Life of RBC

55
Q

Byproduct of Lysed RBC

56
Q

Renal Failure and Erythropoietin

A

Pt’s with renal failure may have anemia due to lack of ability to create Erythropoeitin which is created in the kidneys

57
Q
