46
Q

Thrombocyte range of

A

Thrombocytopenia indicates that bleeding may occur.

Assess for petechiae and bruising

47
Q

The condition of having a Thrombocyte value of >400,000 is called? when might a patient experience this?

A

Thrombocytosis. This occur with inflammation and some malignant disorders.

48
Q

Define Stasis?

A

A state of equilibrium

49
Q

Overdose treatment of Heparin?

A

protamine sulfate

50
Q

Overdose treatment of warfarin (Coumadin)?

51
Q

Control Range: aPTT?

A

25-35 seconds

52
Q

Labs to consider when giving Heparin?

53
Q

What does aPTT assess?

A

The intrinsic coagulation by measuring factors I,II,V,VIII,IX,XI,XII.

54
Q

How does Heparin work? how is usually administered?

A

It prolongs bleeding time by putting a negative charge on the surface of platelets which inhibit the clumping action. Produces rapid onset via Subq or IV

55
Q

Labs to consider when giving warfarin (Coumadin)?

A

PT and INR

56
Q

What does PT (Prothrombin Time) assess?

A

assessment of the extrinsic coagulation by measurement of factors I,II,V,VII,X.

57
Q

Control Range: PT?

A

11-16 seconds.

58
Q

Control Range: INR?

59
Q

How does warfarin (Coumadin) work?

A

Inhibits the hepatic synthesis of coagulation, however, slow acting 2-3 days to reach therapeutic levels.

60
Q

Growth factors facilitate?

A

Regrowth of new tissues

61
Q

Increased Thrombin Time indicates?

A

Coagulation is inadequate secondary to decreased thrombin activity.

62
Q

Define the MPV (Mean Platelet Value)?

A

Measures the average amount of platelets by using a blood smear to asses the number size and shape of RBC, WBC, Platelets.

63
Q

Ideal range of the MPV?

64
Q

Hemoptysis?

A

coughing up blood

65
Q

Define a neutrophil value of

A

Neutropenia

66
Q

Overt Bleeds refer to?

A

Bleeding that is visible to the patient and clinician.

67
Q

Covert Bleeds refer to?

A

Bleeding that’s internal and not obvious

68
Q

Therapeutic Range of aPTT?

A

1.5-2.0 (times) Control= Therapeutic range

69
Q

Therapeutic Range of INR?

70
Q

Therapeutic range of PT?

A

1.5-2.0 (times) Control= Therapeutic range

71
Q

Prolonged aPTT and PT indicates?

A

Problems on both side of the clotting cascade or in the common pathway.

72
Q

The Onset and duration of heparin?

A

Onset- 0-20mins Duration- 24hrs and under

73
Q

The onset and duration of warfarin?

A

Onset- 2-7days, Duration-3-5days

74
Q

d-Dimer Test measures?

A

An accurate assessment if a blood clot is breaking down.. A negative means no clot.

75
Q

How do antiplatelet drugs work?

A

They interfere with platelet aggregation preventing clot formation within the arteries.

76
Q

Anticoagulants work by?

A

Prevent thrombi from forming or growing larger. *under careful watch of therapeutic levels.

77
Q

Thrombolytics have the job of?

A

Clot destruction. the dissolve the insoluble fibrin.

78
Q

A Peripheral smear test for?

A

Morphology of the cells: This is how they get the indices. The cells shape, and size.

79
Q

The theory behind the ESR?

A

That the heavier cells sink towards the bottom. Infected cells weigh more therefore, and Increased number reflects Inflammation or infection.

80
Q

When should a oral iron supplement be taken?

A

1 hour before meals

81
Q

What enhances the absorption of iron?

A

ascorbic acid (Orange juice)

82
Q

The Universal recipient of blood is which blood type?

83
Q

The Universal Donor of blood is which type?

84
Q

A person receiving blood who is Rh- can receive what type of blood?

A

Only Rh- Blood

85
Q

If My patient were AB- what blood types can they receive?

A

O-, B-, A-, AB-

86
Q

If my patient were B+ what blood types can they receive?

A

O-, O+, B-, B+

87
Q

The most important interventions for hanging blood include? (5 things)

A
  1. Infuse with only normal saline.
  2. Stay with patient for the first 15 minutes checking V.S. q 5minutes.
  3. Infuse blood 2-4 hours no longer than 4 hours.
  4. Time from blood bank to infusion 30minutes or less.
  5. 2 RN’s have to identify the patient and sign the paperwork.
88
Q

If a reaction takes place during a blood transfusion what are the first 4 steps of action?

A
  1. Stop the infusion
  2. Keep the normal Saline Running
  3. Notify doctor STAT
  4. Take down blood/tubing/gather paperwork and send it back to blood bank for analysis.
89
Q

Define: Macrocytic RBC?

A

Large RBC, normal in color, fragile, have less hemoglobin to carry oxygen.

90

Define: Microcytic hypochromic?

A

Tiny, pale cells

91
Q

What does hemoglobin measure?

A

The gas carrying capacity of RBC values are measured from the peripheral blood (Veins)

92
Q

What does Hematocrit measure?

A

Represents the percentage of RBCs compared with the total blood volume.

93
