PETECHIA AND MUCOSAL BLEEDING
A 44 Y/O FEMALE HAS IDIOPATHIC THROMBOCYTOPENIC PURPURA. WHAT WILL THE LAB FINDINGS REVEAL?
DECREASED PLATELET COUNT
THE WASTE PRODUCT BILIRUBIN IS PRODUCED FROM
PORTIONS OF HEME MOLECULES THAT DONT CONTAIN IRON
ERYTHROPOIESIS INCREASES WHEN
OXYGEN LEVELS IN THE BLOOD DECREASE
MOST OF THE IRON THAT IS REMOVED FROM DEGRADED HEMOGLOBIN IS
RECYCLED TO THE BONE MARROW
THE FUNCTION OF RBC’S IS TO
CARRY OXYGEN FROM THE LUNGS TO THE BODYS CELLS
RBC PRODUCTION IS REGULATED BY THE HORMONE
ERYTHROPOIETIN
THE COMBINATION OF PLASMA AND FORMED ELEMENTS IS CALLED
WHOLE BLOOD
SERUM IS
PLASMA MINUS THE FIBRINOGEN
THE FORMED ELEMENTS OF BLOOD INCLUDE
BLOOD CELLS
OVER 95% OF THE PROTEIN IN A RED CELL IS
HEMOGLOBIN
THE PERCENTAGE OF WHOLE BLOOD OCCUPIED BY ERYTHROCYTES IS THE
HEMATOCRIT
THE FXN OF HEMOGLOBIN IS TO
CARRY OXYGEN
WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING STATEMENTS CONCERNING RBC’S IS FALSE?
RBC’S HAVE A LARGE NUCLEUS
PLASMA PROTEINS THAT ARE NECESSARY FOR BLOOD CLOTTING ARE THE
FIBRINOGENS
AGED AND DAMAGED ERYTHROCYTES ARE BROKEN DOWN BY THE
SPLEEN
PLATELETS FXN IN ALL OF THE FOLLOWING EXCEPT
DISSOLVING A FORMED CLOT
PLATELETS ARE
FRAGMENTS OF LARGE MEGAKARYOCYTE CELLS
MOST OF THE PROCOAGULANTS THAT ARE REQUIRED FOR CLOTTING ARE SYNTHESIZED BY
THE LIVER
THE PROCESS OF FIBRINOLYSIS
DISSOLVES CLOTS
WHICH VITAMIN IS NEEDED FOR THE FORMATION OF CLOTTING
VITAMIN K
WHICH DESTROYS BACTERIA THROUGH PHAGOCYTOSIS
NEUTROPHILS
THE PIGMENT IN RBC’S THAT CARRIES OXYGEN IS
HEMOGLOBIN
WHICH OPPOSES THE EFFECT OF HISTAMINE IN ALLERGIC RESPONSES AND PHAGOCYTIZES ANTIGEN ANTIBODY STRUCTURES, AND KILLS SOME TYPES OF PARASITIC WORMS?
EOSINOPHILS
A PERSON’S BLOOD TYPE IS DETERMINED BY THE
PRESENCE OR ABSENCE OF SPECIFIC MOLECULES ON THE CELL MEMBRANCE
WHICH CONTAINS HEMOGLOBIN AND TRANSPORTS OXYGEN AND CARBON DIOXIDE?
EYTHROCYTE
WHAT IS A BLOOD CLOT TRANSPORTED BY THE BLOOD STREAM?
EMBOLUS
WBC’S THAT RELEASE HISTAMINE AT THE SIDE OF AN INJURY ARE
BASOPHILS
WHICH FXN IN HEMOSTASIS AND RELEASES CHEMICALS TO ENHANCE VASCULAR SPASM?
PLATELETS
WHICH WBC’S ARE IMPORTANT IN PRODUCING ANTIBODIES?
LYMPHOCYTES
WHAT TESTS ARE USED TO MONITOR THE EFFECTIVENESS OF IRON THERAPY?
HEMOGLOBIN AND RETICULOCYTE LEVELS
WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING IRON RELATED BLOOD TESTS IS THE MOST ACCURATE INDICATOR OF IRON XU ?
FERRITIN
A 22 Y/O MAN HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH HODGKINS LYMPHOMA. WHAT WAS USED TO CONFIRM THE DIAGNOSIS?
LYMPH NODE BIOPSY
A 45 Y/O WOMAN HAS CHRONIC AND SEVERE IRON XU ANEMIA. WHAT LAB TESTS WERE CONDUCTED?

A 65 Y/O MAN HAS PERNICIOUS ANEMIA. WHAT ARE HIS SYMPTOMS?
WEAKNESS, SORE TONGUE, NUMBNESS AND TINGLING IN THE EXTREMITIES
A 65 Y/O MAN HAS PERNICIOUS ANEMIA. WHAT IS THE TREATMENT?
VITAMIN B12, FOLIC ACID
WHICH ANEMIA IS CAUSED BY FAILURE OF THE BONE MARROW TO PRODUCE NEW BLOOD CELLS?
APLASTIC
HEREDITARY XU OF COAGULATION IS REFERRED TO AS
HEMOPHILIA (BLOOD CANT CLOT PROPERLY)
STOPPAGE OF BLEEDING IS CALLED
HEMOSTASIS
AN INCREASE IN THE # OF WHITE BLOOD CELLS IS CALLED
LEUKOCYTOSIS
THE RBC INDICES PROVIDES ALL OF THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION ABOUT RBC’S EXCEPT?
SHAPE OF RBC’S
IN THE RBC INDICES TEST, IRON XU ANEMIA WHICH HAS BEEN DETECTED LATE IS CHARACTERIZED BY RBCS WHICH ARE
SMALLER THAN NORMAL
IN THE RBC INDICES TEST, VITAMIN B12 AND FOLIC ACID XU ANEMIAS ARE CHARACTERIZED BY RBCS WHICH ARE
LARGER THAN NORMAL
THE RBC COUNT, HEMATOCRIT, AND HEMOGLOBIN TESTS ARE INTEGRAL IN EVALUATING ANEMIC PATIENTS AND
PATIENTS WITH ONGOING BLEEDING PROBLEMS
THE RBC INDICES TEST IS USEFUL IN CLASSIFYING
ANEMIAS
WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING IS NOT ASSOCIATED WITH INCREASED WBC COUNT?
