CORRECT WELL DETAILED
CBC (complete blood count) Components - ANSWER RBC< Hbg, Hct, WBC, PLT
BMP/CMP Components - ANSWER NA, K, Ca, Mg, Phos, Creatinine, BUN,Albumin,
Glucose
Normal RBC count - ANSWER 4-5.3 million/mm3w
What happens to body temp prior to ovulation? - ANSWER Drops
Normal: Hbg (hemoglobin) level - ANSWER 12-17g/dL
Normal Hct level (Portion of RBC/ Plasma) - ANSWER -33-51% (3x Hbg)
-See increase if plasma decreases (even if RBC doesn't increase)
-See decrease if over hydrated (even if RBC doesn't decrease)
*If someone is bleeding out, they are losing RBC and Plasma equally, so you will not see an
initial decline in Hct
Normal PLT count - ANSWER 150,000-450,000/mm3
1
,Normal WBC count - ANSWER -4,500-11,000/mm3
-Differential or % of each of the 5 types of WBCs which will total 100%
-with inflammation (72 hours after) post-OP, see high WBC (NOT infection)
What two types of WBC are indicative of infection? - ANSWER Neutrophils and
Eosinophils
What is elevated with patients that have chronic "Osis" And "itis?" -
ANSWER Monocytes
Normal BUN level; what it shows? - ANSWER -8-21
-Indicator for hydration
-decreased=fluid overload
-increased=Dehydration, kidney damage
-IF linked at with Creatinine, shows kidney function
If albumin is low, and the med you are giving is protein bound, what happens to patient? -
ANSWER Affects them more intensity
Normal Creatinine level, meaning? - ANSWER -0.5-1.2mg/dL (once 25% of nephrons
are dead, we see increase)
2
,->1.5=50% nephrons dead
-waste product of muscle tissue, MORNING labs

Hypertonic solutions - ANSWER -D5% in .45% (commonly used)
-D5% in .9% (commonly used)
3
, -3% NaCl (not commonly used)
-Dextrose 10% (not commonly used)
With hyperaldosteronism what will we see? - ANSWER Hypernatremia
with hypernatremia, what do we see in BP and P? - ANSWER increase BP and P
What formula do we use to treat hypernatremia? - ANSWER 1L fluid for every 3mEq
above 145
with what diseases will we see hyponatremia? - ANSWER -SIADH
-Adrenal insufficiency (Na loss)
In the first 1-2 hours we can increase Na by___________? - ANSWER 4-6mEq
Hyperkalemia Manifestations? Treatment? - ANSWER -Tall T waves, long PR, Wide QRS
-diarrhea, cramps
-weak muscles
Tx:
-Calcium Gluconate
-Sodium Bicarbonate
-Dextrose & Regular Insulin
hypokalemia manifestations - ANSWER -Bradycardia, ST depression, flat T wave
