Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Question
Answer
The four blood types are   A, B, AB,+ O  
🗑
Each blood type has a + or - called a   Rh factor  
🗑
A negative Rh blood type   CAN be given to a positive Rh blood type  
🗑
A positive Rh blood type   CAN NOT be given to a negative Rh blood type  
🗑
Erythroblastosis Fetalis(EF) only occurs when   the mother's Rh factor is NEGATIVE and the father's Rh factor is POSITIVE  
🗑
If a fetus receives the father's positive Rh factor trait, the mother's immune system will be   sensitized(make antibodies) to the fetal blood during delivery **the mother will start creating antibodies against the fetus' Rh positive blood  
🗑
Anemia is   erythrocytopenia(deficiency in erythrocytes RBCs) and/or deficient hemoglobin(Hgb)  
🗑
Dx of anemia is confirmed with a   CBC(Complete Blood Count) and H&H(Hemoglobin(Hgb) & Hematocrit "crit")  
🗑
Hemorrhagic anemia occurs when   there is a substantial blood loss  
🗑
Hemolytic anemia occurs when   excessive destruction of erythrocytes (RBCs)  
🗑
Pernicious Anemia(PA) occurs when   there's a dificiency of vitamin B-12(<6 ug/day)  
🗑
Hypochromic anemia occurs when   there is a deficiency of iron(Fe)(<18 mg/day) AKA IDA (Iron Deficiency Anemia)  
🗑
IDA (Iron Deficiencuy Anemia) AKA Hypochromic anemia, is the   most common form of anemia  
🗑
Hypochromic anemia(IDA/Iron Deficiency Anemia) is common in   adolescent girls & boys and pregnancy  
🗑
Symptoms specific to hypochromic anemia (IDA/IronDeficiencyAnemia) include   cravings for ice, swelling of the tongue and dry lips  
🗑
Folic acid deficiency anemia(<400mcg/day) can occur due to the   insufficient consumption of vegetables  
🗑
Aplastic anemia occurs when   there is a dysfunction of the red bone marrow(myeloid tissue)  
🗑
Signs & symptoms of all anemias include   *Pallor(paleness)*Fatique(tired)*Vertigo(dizziness)*Muscle weakness*Dyspnea(difficulty breathing)*Tachycardia(fast heart rate, rapid pulse)*Cephalalgia(head pain)  
🗑
Primary polycythemia(blood is hard to flow) is characterized by   erythrocytosis(excessive RBCs) due to hyperactive myeloid tissue(red bone marrow)  
🗑
Primary polycythemia(blood is hard to flow) causes the blood to become   viscous(thick)  
🗑
Tx for primary polycythemia(blood is hard to flow) is   periodic therapeutic phlebotomy(bleeding)  
🗑
Causes of Secondary polycythemia include   1)Living in high altitudes stimulates erythrocyte production to compensate for lower oxygen(O2) concentration 2)Being very athletic stimulates erythrocyte production to compensate for hypoxia(deficient oxygen) during strenuous exercise  
🗑
Hemophilia is a   genetic coagulopathy(disease condition of clotting)  
🗑
Hemophilia almost always occurs in   males  
🗑
Hemophilia occurs due to the   absence of clotting factor VIII or IX  
🗑
Clotting factors are essential for   proper coagulation(clotting)  
🗑
Signs of severe hemophilia include   1)Epistaxis(nose bleed) 2)Purpura(a condition of ecchymosis[bruising]& petechiae[pinpoint hemorrhages] 3)Joint hemorrhages 4)Hematuria(blood in the urine)  
🗑
Tx for hemophilia involves   periodic administration of the missing clotting factor  
🗑
Hemophiliacs should refrain from   contact sports  
🗑
Idiopathic Thrombocytopenia Purpura(ITP) is an   autoimmune disease causing thrombocytopenia(deficiencey of thrombocytes(platelets)  
🗑
ITP(Idiopathic Thrombocytopenia Purpura[bruise easily]) can cause   purpura[a combination of ecchymosis{bruising}& petechiae{pinpoint hemorrhages}) & anemia(deficiency of erythrocytes(RBCs) and/or hemoglobin(Hgb)  
🗑
Tx for ITP(Idiopathic Thromboctopenia Purpura) includes   periodic platelet (thrombocytes) transfusions  
🗑
Leukemia is characterized by   extreme leukocytosis (excessive WBCs) of immature leukocytes(WBCs)  
🗑
Number of WBCs seen in leukemia can exceed   200,000 mm3  
🗑
Dx of leukemia is confirmed with   WBC differential & bone marrow Bx(Biopsy)  
🗑
Signs & symptoms of leukemia include   1)Pyrexia(fevere) 2)Lymphadenopathy(swollen lymph nodes) 3)Arthralgias(joint pain) 4)Anemia & prolonged bleeding 5)WT (WeighT) loss 6)Weakness 7)SOB(Shortness of Breath)  
🗑
Types of leukemia include   1)AML(Acute Myelogenous Leukemia(5yr survival rate-40%) 2)ALL(Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia(5yr survival rate-85% in children,50% in adults 3)CML(Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia(5yr survival rate-90% 4)CLL(Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia(5yr survival rate-75%)  
🗑
Tx for leukemia includes   chemotherapy (antineoplastics), radiation therapy & bone marrow transplantation  
🗑
IM(Infectious Mononucleosis is caused by the   EBV(Epstein-Barr virus)  
🗑
IM(Infectious Mononucleosis is highly   contagious & is commonly called the "Kissing Disease" due to the case of transmission from close personal contact  
🗑
IM(Infectious Mononucleosis is also called the "College disease" because of the compromised condition of many college students due to   1)Poor nutrition 2)Inadequate sleep 3)Poorly controlled stress 4)Excessive use of ETOH(Alcohol) & tobacco  
🗑
Signs & symptoms of IM(Infectious Mononucleosis) include   1)Pyrexia(fever) 2)Extreme fatique 3)Persistent pharyngitis (inflammation of the throat) 4)Lymphadenopathy(swollen lymph nodes) 5)Splenomegaly(enlarged spleen)  
🗑
Recovery from IM(Infectious Mononucleosis) can take weeks to months but   a lasting immunity to EBV(Epstein-Barr Virus) is usually attained  
🗑
A monospot is a   blood test to detect the presence of the EBV (Epstein-Barr Virus)  
🗑
Hodgkin's Disease(HD) is a   malignancy (Cancer) of the lymphatic system  
🗑
Signs & symptoms of HD(Hodgkin's Disease) include   1)Painless cervical (neck) axillary (armpit), or inquinal(groin) lymphadenopathy (swollen lymph nodes) 2)Pyrexia(fever) 3)Fatique, 4)WT (WeighT)loss  
🗑
HD(Hodgkin's Disease) is more common in   1)Caucasian men 2)Smokers 3)Exposure to the HIV(Human ImmunoDeficiencyVirus) or EBV (Epstein-BarrVirus) 4)Ages 15-35 and over 50  
🗑
Tx for HD(Hodgkin's Disease) includes   *Chemotherapy (antineoplastics) and radiation therapy  
🗑
The remission rate for HD(Hodgkin's Disease) is   95%+  
🗑
The signs & symptoms for NHL(Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma)are the   same as HD(Hodgkin's Disease)  
🗑
NHL(Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma has a low remission rate due to   early metastasis (spread) before signs & symptoms occur  
🗑
