MSP 2 - EXAM 2 (UNITS 3-4)
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Anemia - Correct Answers -Reduction in oxygen-carrying capacity due to decreased
quantity or quality of RBCs.
Iron Deficiency Anemia - Correct Answers -Caused by chronic GI bleeding or low iron;
treated with oral or IV iron.
Erythropoietin-Stimulating Agents - Correct Answers -Medications like epoetin and
darbepoetin used for anemia from CKD.
Sickle Cell Disease - Correct Answers -Autosomal recessive disorder with abnormal
hemoglobin causing vaso-occlusion and pain crises.
Hydroxyurea - Correct Answers -Drug that increases fetal hemoglobin and reduces
sickling in SCD.
Voxelotor - Correct Answers -Medication that increases hemoglobin by increasing O2
affinity in SCD.
Polycythemia Vera - Correct Answers -Primary bone marrow disorder causing
increased RBC production and high viscosity.
Secondary Polycythemia - Correct Answers -Occurs from chronic hypoxia such as
smoking, COPD, or high altitude.
Leukocytosis - Correct Answers -Elevated white blood cells usually due to infection or
inflammation.
Leukopenia - Correct Answers -Low white blood cells often due to chemo, infection, or
bone marrow failure.
Thrombocytosis - Correct Answers -High platelet count >1 million/mm³ causing
increased clot risk.
Thrombocytopenia - Correct Answers -Low platelet count <150,000 leading to bleeding
and bruising.

bleeding.

and platelets to screen for disease.
Petechiae - Correct Answers -Tiny red spots indicating capillary bleeding seen in
thrombocytopenia.
Purpura - Correct Answers -Larger purple spots from bleeding under the skin.
Phlebotomy - Correct Answers -Therapeutic removal of blood used in polycythemia to
reduce RBC mass.
Antifibrinolytics - Correct Answers -Drugs that prevent clot breakdown, used for surgery
in hemophilia.
Protective Isolation - Correct Answers -Warranted when WBC count is below 1000/mm³.
Exercise Consideration for Anemia - Correct Answers -Exercise must be approved and
progressed carefully due to decreased tolerance.
Heat Contraindication in Hemophilia - Correct Answers -Heat should never be applied to
an active bleed.
polyuria - Correct Answers -excessive urination
hesitancy - Correct Answers -weak or interrupted urine system
dysuria - Correct Answers -painful burning or discomfort with urination
urinary retention - Correct Answers -feeling bladder has not emptied completely,
straining
proteinuria - Correct Answers -protein in urine; foamy urine
