Adult Hematology Nursing ACTUAL
UPDATED QUESTIONS AND CORRECT
ANSWERS
1. What are the common signs and symptoms of adult anemia?
CORRECT ANSWERS✅✅ Adult anemia presents with fatigue, pallor, shortness of breath,
dizziness, tachycardia, and cold intolerance. Nurses monitor vital signs,
hemoglobin/hematocrit, oxygen saturation, and patient-reported symptoms. Early recognition
is essential for timely intervention. Patient education focuses on dietary sources of iron,
adherence to iron or vitamin supplements, and reporting persistent symptoms. Supportive
care includes hydration, rest, and psychosocial support. Treating the underlying cause
improves patient outcomes. Continuous monitoring ensures patient safety and effective
therapy.
2. How is iron deficiency anemia managed in adults?
CORRECT ANSWERS✅✅ Management includes oral or IV iron supplementation, dietary
modifications, and treating underlying causes such as blood loss. Nurses monitor
hemoglobin, hematocrit, reticulocyte count, and side effects of iron therapy. Patient education
focuses on adherence, recognizing side effects like constipation, and dietary guidance.
Supportive care includes hydration, energy conservation, and psychosocial support. Early
intervention prevents severe fatigue, hypoxia, and complications. Continuous monitoring
ensures effective therapy and safety. Collaboration with physicians ensures individualized
treatment.
3. What are the clinical features of adult sickle cell disease?
CORRECT ANSWERS✅✅ Sickle cell disease presents with pain crises, fatigue, pallor,
jaundice, frequent infections, delayed growth, and organ damage. Nurses monitor vital signs,
hemoglobin levels, oxygen saturation, and signs of infection or organ dysfunction.
Management includes pain control, hydration, blood transfusions, and hydroxyurea therapy.
Patient education focuses on recognizing triggers for crises, adherence to medications, and
infection prevention. Supportive care includes nutrition, psychosocial support, and
monitoring for complications. Early intervention prevents organ damage and improves
quality of life. Continuous monitoring ensures patient safety and effective therapy.
4. How is adult thalassemia major managed?
CORRECT ANSWERS✅✅ Management includes regular blood transfusions, iron chelation
therapy, monitoring for iron overload, and supportive care. Nurses monitor hemoglobin,
ferritin levels, organ function, and transfusion reactions. Patient education focuses on
, adherence to chelation therapy, recognizing signs of anemia, and reporting complications.
Supportive care includes nutrition, psychosocial support, and infection prevention. Early
intervention prevents organ damage and improves survival. Continuous monitoring ensures
safe and effective therapy. Collaboration with hematologists ensures individualized
management.
5. What are the nursing priorities for a patient with adult leukemia?
CORRECT ANSWERS✅✅ Priorities include monitoring for infection, bleeding tendencies,
anemia, vital signs, and response to therapy. Nurses assess lab values, patient symptoms, and
treatment side effects. Management includes chemotherapy, bone marrow transplantation,
supportive care, and infection prevention. Patient education focuses on reporting fever,
adherence to therapy, and lifestyle modifications. Supportive care includes pain management,
nutritional support, and psychosocial counseling. Early recognition prevents complications
and improves outcomes. Continuous monitoring ensures patient safety and effective therapy.
6. How is adult hemophilia managed?
CORRECT ANSWERS✅✅ Management includes replacement of deficient clotting factors,
bleeding precautions, and patient education. Nurses monitor vital signs, signs of bleeding,
and lab values (clotting factors, aPTT). Patient education focuses on avoiding trauma,
recognizing early signs of bleeding, and adhering to therapy. Supportive care includes pain
management, physiotherapy, and psychosocial support. Early intervention prevents severe
bleeding and joint damage. Continuous monitoring ensures safe and effective management.
Collaboration with hematologists ensures individualized care.
7. What are the signs and symptoms of adult thrombocytopenia?
CORRECT ANSWERS✅✅ Thrombocytopenia presents with petechiae, easy bruising,
mucosal bleeding, epistaxis, prolonged bleeding, and fatigue. Nurses monitor platelet counts,
vital signs, and signs of active bleeding. Management includes platelet transfusions, treating
underlying causes, and bleeding precautions. Patient education focuses on avoiding trauma,
reporting bleeding, and adhering to therapy. Supportive care includes psychosocial support
and monitoring for complications. Early recognition prevents severe hemorrhage. Continuous
monitoring ensures patient safety and effective therapy.
8. How is adult polycythemia vera managed?
CORRECT ANSWERS✅✅ Management includes phlebotomy, cytoreductive therapy, low-
dose aspirin, and monitoring for thrombotic events. Nurses monitor hematocrit, hemoglobin,
platelet counts, vital signs, and signs of thrombosis. Patient education focuses on hydration,
adherence to therapy, and recognizing complications. Supportive care includes psychosocial
support, infection prevention, and symptom management. Early intervention prevents
