BRAND NEW 2025
A newborn is diagnosed with a blood disorder in which her
platelet count is low. Which of the following does the nurse
suspect could be the reason? - ANSWER - >decreased
thrombopoietin
Which condition will cause a patient to secrete
erythropoietin - ANSWER - >Hypoxia
A nurse is caring for a patient who cannot clot. Which end
product of the clotting cascade is this patient unable to
make - ANSWER - >Fibrin
Erythrocytes - ANSWER - >- most abundant cells in the
blood
- greatest portion of total body iron
Where does hematopoiesis take place? - ANSWER -
>Adults: bone marrow
Infants: liver and spleen
,EPO: originates in kidney, stimulated by hypoxia and
decreased hemoglobin concentrations
RBC require folic acid, B12, iron, protein, and copper
State the cause of Anemia - ANSWER - >- impaired
erythrocyte production
- acute or chronic blood loss
- increased erythrocyte destruction
- combination of the above
- leads to TISSUE HYPOXIA
Explain how the body compensates for anemia and how
this would manifest on the physical examination -
ANSWER - >- movement of interstitial fluid into plasma to
thin the blood
- vasodilation and BF becomes turbulent, creating
hyperdynamic state (tachycardia, tachypnea, and
increased SV) - pallor d/t reduced hemoglobin
- increased release of EPO
- abdominal pain, fatty liver, dizziness, fainting, lethargy
, Different types of Anemia: Cytic - ANSWER -
>changes in size of erythrocyte - macrocyctic,
microcytic, normocytic
Chromic - ANSWER - >changes in hemoglobin
content/color
- normochromic, hypochromic
Normocytic, Normochromic: normal RBC, but not enough -
ANSWER - >- 5L of blood in average adult
- post hemorrhagic anemia
- trauma, GI bleed, retroperitoneal bleed
Aplastic - ANSWER - >- reduction or absence of all three
types of blood cells
(pancytopenia)
- most related to autoimmune disorders
- Insufficient RBC production r/t cytotoxic drugs
Patho
- hypocellular bone marrow has been replaced with fat ->
aplasia
Manifestations
-
