PATHOPHYSIOLOGY ACTUAL EXAM 3
QUESTIONS WITH VERIFIED ANSWERS
- SOUTH COLLEGE
Hematology
study of the form and structure of blood and blood forming
tissues
Formed Elements of the Blood
-erythrocytes/ RBCs
-leukocytes/ WBCs
-platelets/thrombocytes
Edema
-swelling
-accumulation of excessive fluid within the interstitial tissues or
within body cavities
,Congestion
-accumulation of excessive blood within the blood vessels of an
organ or tissue
Infarction
-localized cell death
-localized region of necrosis caused by reduction of arterial
perfusion below a level required for cell viability
Thrombosis
solid mass of clotted blood within an intact blood vessel or
chamber of the heart
Embolus
mass of solid, liquid, or gas that moves within a blood vessel to
lodge at site distant from its place of origin
,Signs/Symptoms of Hematological Disorders
-Bleeding and Bruising
-Shock
-Lymphadenopathy
-Splenomegaly
Shock
occurs when the circulatory system is unable to maintain
adequate pressure in order to perfuse organs
Lymphadenopathy
abnormal enlargement of the lymph node
Splenomegaly
Enlargement of the Spleen
, Platelet Values of 40k-60k uL
increased risk for postsurgical /traumatic bleed
PTA Implications for Hematologic Disorders: Exercise and Sports
-exercise can increase plasma and erythrocyte volume
-blood doping- infusing oxygenated blood
PTA Implications for Hematological Disorders: Vital Signs
-pts with shock may develop 10-20 mmHg drop in SBP with
increased HR of 15 bpm due to decreased intravascular volume
-watch for S/S of reaction to blood transfusion
Signs and Symptoms of Reaction to Blood Transfusion
-febrile non-hemolytic reaction(fever & chills)
-transfusion related acute lung injury leading to respiratory
distress
-acute hemolytic transfusion reaction- incompatible blood type
transfusion
