Platelet count | 150,000-350,000mm3 |
BMI Normal weight | 18.5-24.9 |
Underweight BMI | <18.5 |
Overweight BMI | 25-29.9 |

What are the 5 P's | pain, pallor, paresthesia, paralysis, pulse |
Normal adult temperature | 98.6 37 celsius |
Name the 4 lab values we should know that are measured in mg/100mL. | BUN, Calcium, Creatinine, Glucose |
Name the 3 lab values we should know that are measured in G/100mL. | Albumin, Hemoglobin male, Hemoglobin female |
Name the 3 Lab values we should know that measured in mEQ/L | Sodium, Potassium, Chloride |
Name the two Lab values we should know that are measured in percents | Hematocrit male 45-52%, Hematocrit female 37-48% |
What Lab value do we have to know is measured in mm cubed? | Platelet count 150,000 to 350,000mm3 |
What is a normal oxygen saturation level for an adult? | 90-100% |
What is the formula for converting fahrenheit to celsius? | To convert from Farenheit to Celsius, use this equation:C=(F-32) x 5/9 |
What is the formula for converting celsius to fahrenheit | To convert from Celsius to Farenheit, use this equation: F=(9/5 x C) + 32 |
What is a way to convert celsius to fahrenheit in your head? | 1) double the Celsius temperature (2 x 30 = 60) 2) subtract one tenth of this value (60 - 6 = 54) 3) add 32 (54 + 32 = 86 degrees) |
What is the normal range for serum alkaline phosphatase? | 30-120 U/L |
What does elevated alkaline phosphatase indicate? | Bone trouble...Healing fracture, bone cancer, osteoporosis, osteomalacia, Paget's disease |
What is the normal ranges for serum calcium levels? | 9-11 mg/dl or 4.5 -5.5 mEq/L |
What is the normal range for Leukocytes? | 4300 - 10,800/mm cubed |
What organ is responsible for the synthesis of albumin? | The liver |
What happens to fluids if albumin levels are decreased? | Fluid will shift from blood vessels to the tissues leading to edema formation. |
Name 7 conditions that could lead to decreased albumin levels(LF,C,M,M,UC,RD,P). | Acute liver failure, Cirrhosis, malnutrition, malabsorption syndromes, ulcerative colitis, renal disorders, and preeclampsia |
What conditions increase albumin levels (d,sd, v)? | Dehydration, Severe Diarrhea, Vomiting |
Blood Ph | 7.35 to 7.45 |

What cholesteral level is considered moderate risk? | 200-240 mg/dL |
High Risk Cholesterol level | >240mg/dL |
How do you calculate BMI? | body weight in KG divided by Height in meters squared. Convert lb to kg - 150 lbs / 2.2 = 68.2 kg; convert hieght to meters - 64" x 0.0254 = 1.63 meters; 1.63 x 1.63 = 2.66; 68.2/2.66 = 25.6 overweight BMI |

pregnant hemoglobin | >11 g/dL |
Hemoglobin up to 6 yrs old | 9.5-14 g/dL |
Hemoglobin from 6-18 yrs old | 10-15.5 g/dL |
Newborn hemoglobin | 14-24 g/dL |
what are the effects of high altitude or pregnancy on hemoglobin values? | high altitude = increased levels; pregnancy = normal for slight decreased levels |
Pregnant HCT | >33% |
Newborn HCT | 44-64% |
