🗑
Superficial lymph nodes can be evaluated by   light palpation  
🗑
Deep lymph nodes should be evaluated by   radiologic exam – cannot be palpated  
🗑
Lymph nodes should be assess for?   symmetry, size, fixation, tenderness, and texture  
🗑
Tender nodes are usually sign of inflammation, while hard/fixed nodes suggest   malignancy  
🗑
Erythrocytosis often produces   sm. Vessel occlusions causing a purple, mottled appearance of face, nose, fingers or toes.  
🗑
Clubbing of fingers send with   chronic anemia as in pt with sickle cell disease.  
🗑
Telangiectasia   dilation of a group of small blood vessels – like a spider nevus  
🗑
What skin signs can indicate bleeding disorders?   petechiae, ecchymoses, spider nevus  
🗑
Pancytopenia   marked decreases in number of ALL blood cells – RBCs, WBCs, and platelets  
🗑
Hb value is reduced in cases of?   anemia, hemorrhage, hemodilution (FVE).  
🗑
Hb value increases in   polycthemia, hemoconcentration (dehydration FVD).  
🗑
Hct values reduced in   anemia, hemorrhage, hemodilution (FVE).  
🗑
Hct values increased in   polycthemia, hemoconcentration (dehydration FVD).  
🗑
Hct is usually __ times that of Hb.   3  
🗑
Hb   measurement of gas-carrying capacity of RBC – 12-16 woman, 13.5-18 man  
🗑
Hct   measure of packed cell volume of RBCs  
🗑
Red cell indices   Indicators of RBC volume, color, hemoglobin saturation – can provide insight into cause of anemia – marcro vs microcytosis  
🗑
RBC morphologies   Dohl bodies, Heinz bodies, anisocytes, schistocytes, and sickled cells  
🗑
Dohl bodies   usually associated with burns, systemic infections, cytotoxic agents, and neoplastic diseases – leukocyte includsion in neutrophils  
🗑
Heinz bodies   Granules in RBCs – seen in thalassemias and after splenectomy  
🗑
Anisocytes   various sized RBCs  
🗑
Schistocytes   Fragmented RBC – hemolytic anemias, severe burns  
🗑
WBC counts over 11,000 indicates   infection, inflammation, tissue injury or death, and malignancies (leukemia, lymphoma)  
🗑
WBC less than 4000 is associated with   leukopenia – bone marrow depression, severe or chronic illness, leukemia  
🗑
WBC differential is significant because   WBC count main be normal, despite marked change in 1 type of leukocyte  
🗑
Neutropenia   absolute neutrophils count less than 1000 cells  
🗑
Severe neutropenia   less than 500 cells  
🗑
Thrombocytopenia   platelet count below 100,000  
🗑
Spontaneous bleeding can occur once platelet count falls below   20,000  
🗑
Thrombocytosis   excessive platelets – inflammation and some malignant disorders  
🗑
Complications from a splenectomy   Increase in RBCs, WBCs, platelets, immunologic deficiencies – infection  
🗑

🗑
Assessment of lymph nodes on patient   lt palpation for superficial, radiologic for deep – assessed symmetrically for location, fixation, tenderness (inflame), and texture  
🗑
What the term shift to the left means   increase in immature forms of WBCs (bands) being released before they have matured  
🗑
Expected lab findings in pt with iron deficiency anemia   lower hb/hct, low iron, low MCV, flow ferritin, yet increase in TIB (tot. iron-bind capacity)  
🗑
Foods nurse would recommend for pt w/iron def. anemia   liver, muscle meat, eggs, dk green leaf veg, whole-grain, enriched breads
