A nurse is discussing a granulocyte. Which type of cell is the nurse describing?
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
A. Platelets
|
B. T cells
| |
C. Neutrophil
|
D. Erythrocyte - Correct answer ✔Neutrophil
| | | | |
Neutrophils, eosinophils and basophils are types of granulocytes.
| | | | | | |
A patient has a decreased number of leukocytes. Which term will the nurse use
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
to describe this finding?
| | |
A. Leukocytosis
|
B. Leukemia
|
C. Lymphoblastic
|
D. Leukopenia - Correct answer ✔Leukopenia
| | | | |
Leukopenia is present when the count is lower than normal.
| | | | | | | | |
,A nurse wants to talk about the most common granulocyte cell. Which type of
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
cells will the nurse describe?
| | | |
A. Basophils
|
B. Eosinophils
|
C. Neutrophils
|
D. Platelets - Correct answer ✔Neutrophil
| | | | |
Neutrophilia is another term that may be used to describe granulocytosis
| | | | | | | | | | |
because neutrophils are the most numerous of the granulocytes.
| | | | | | | |
A patient has monocytopenia. Which history data is significant for the
| | | | | | | | | | |
monocytopenia?
A. Uses prednisone/glucocorticoid therapy
| | |
B. Is allergic to penicillin
| | | |
C. Overweight by 100 pounds
| | | |
D. Has a parasitic infection - Correct answer ✔Uses prednisone/glucocorticoid
| | | | | | | | | |
therapy
Monocytopenia, a decrease in monocytes, is rare but has been identified with | | | | | | | | | | | |
hairy cell leukemia and prednisone/glucocorticoid therapy.
| | | | |
A patient has an infection with the Epstein Barr virus. Which lab result will be
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
elevated?
A. Basophils
|
B. Platelets
|
,C. Erythrocytes
|
D. Lymphocytes - Correct answer ✔Lymphocytes
| | | | |
Lymphocytosis is rare in acute bacterial infections and is seen most commonly
| | | | | | | | | | | |
in acute viral infections, particularly those caused by the Epstein-Barr virus
| | | | | | | | | | |
(EBV), a causative agent in infectious mononucleosis.
| | | | | |
Which information should the nurse include when discussing the
| | | | | | | | |
pathophysiology of infectious mononucleosis? | | |
A. A neoplastic proliferation of leukocyte precursor cells in the bone marrow
| | | | | | | | | | |
B. An infection of B lymphocytes caused by the Epstein-Barr virus
| | | | | | | | | |
C. Malignant plasma cells aggregate into tumor masses in the skeletal system
| | | | | | | | | | |
D. Decreased neutrophils with resulting granulocytopenia - Correct answer
| | | | | | | | |
✔An infection of B lymphocytes caused by the Epstein-Barr virus
| | | | | | | | |
Infectious mononucleosis is an infection of B lymphocytes caused by the
| | | | | | | | | | |
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). | |
A patient has chronic leukemia. Which cell is most affected?
| | | | | | | | |
A. Undifferentiated cells
| |
B. Chronic cells
| |
C. Blast cells
| |
D. Mature cells - Correct answer ✔Mature cells
| | | | | | |
, In chronic leukemia, the predominant cell is more mature but does not
| | | | | | | | | | | |
function normally. |
Which information should the nurse include when describing the
| | | | | | | | |
pathophysiology of chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML)? | | | | |
C. A specific chromosomal translocation called the Philadelphia chromosome -
| | | | | | | | | |
Correct answer ✔A specific chromosomal translocation called the Philadelphia
| | | | | | | | |
chromosome
CML is more common in middle-aged to older adults and is frequently
| | | | | | | | | | | |
associated with a specific chromosomal translocation, called the Philadelphia
| | | | | | | | |
chromosome.
A patient has recently been diagnosed with Lymphoblastic lymphoma (LL).
| | | | | | | | | |
Which initial assessment is typical of this disease?
| | | | | | |
A. Painless swollen lymph nodes in the neck
| | | | | | |
B. Bleeding in the abdomen
| | | |
C. Tumor in the thyroid
| | | |
D. Tissue ischemia in the extremities - Correct answer ✔Painless swollen lymph
| | | | | | | | | | |
nodes in the neck
| | | |
The first sign of LL is usually a painless lymphadenopathy in the neck.
| | | | | | | | | | | |
A patient has heparin induced thrombocytopenia. Which treatment should the
| | | | | | | | | |
nurse implement? |
A. Stop the heparin
| | |
