Nursing 232 Exam 3 Questions With
Complete Solutions
organ responsible for filtration of the blood, breaks down hemoglobin, removes old
WBCs and stores RBCs and platelets - Answer-✅Spleen
/.organ that is the primary site for production of clotting factors. It uses vitamin K to
produce prothrombin and some factors - Answer-✅Liver
/.leukocytes - Answer-✅white blood cells
/.eosinophils - Answer-✅Type of WBC
Become active in certain allergic diseases/reactions, parasitic infections & medical
conditions like asthma & collagen vascular disease
/.monocytes - Answer-✅Type of WBC:
Turn into macrophages & immune helper cells
Migrate into tissues for phagocytosis
/.basophils - Answer-✅Type of WBC
-Appear in specific inflammatory reactions
-Contain heparin & histamine, which promotes blood flow
-Play role in parasitic infections, allergies & mediating immune system (such as B
lymphocytes)
/.Neutrophils - Answer-✅Most abundant WBC
-Immature neutrophil called band
-Front line defense against pathogens, especially bacterial infections; recruited within
minutes of acute inflammation from position along margin of blood vessels
-Phagocytosis action against pathogens
-Release cytokines to stimulate inflammatory response
/.Lymphocytes - Answer-✅WBCs
Three types: Natural Killer (NK) cells, T cells & B cells
-Major component of adaptive immune response
--T cells associated with cell mediated immunity
--B cells associated with humoral mediated immunity
, -Recognize antigens & generate specific responses; contain toxic granules of enzymes
that digest pathogens (viral & bacterial)
-Stimulate production of antibodies from memory cells
/.Anemias - Answer-✅-The most common hematologic disorder of childhood
-Decrease in number of RBCs and/or hemoglobin concentration below normal
-Increased destruction or decreased production of the RBCs
-Decreased oxygen-carrying capacity of blood
/.Effects of Anemia - Answer-✅-Hemodilution
-Decreased peripheral resistance
-Increased cardiac circulation and turbulence
--May have murmur
--May lead to cardiac failure
-Cyanosis
-Growth retardation
/.Iron Deficiency Anemia - Answer-✅-caused by inadequate iron intake or excessive
loss of iron
-generally preventable
--iron-fortified cereals for infants
--special needs of premature infants
S&S: pale skin, fatigue, pica, HA, dizziness, irritability, slowed thought processes, dec
attention span, apathy, and depression.

(6 mo - 2 years? dairy milk)
/.what foods are high in iron - Answer-✅Meats, seafood, eggs, legumes, whole grains,
green leafy vegetables, and dried fruits
/.Sickle Cell Anemia is what type of genetic disease? - Answer-✅autosomal recessive
/.Sickle Cell Pain - Answer-✅pain is most common problem;
crisis is result of tissue injury caused by poor oxygenation from obstructed blood flow;
/.what does a shortened life span of sickle cell RBC leads to - Answer-✅-low
hemoglobin with associated symptoms of anemia
-high reticulocyte count
-elevated bilirubin and jaundice related to breakdown of large number of RBCs
/.What are the Triggers for sickle cell crisis - Answer-✅Infection
