What can confirm if a client has acute lyphocytic leukemia (ALL).

A bone marrow biopsy

Agoraphobia

A fear of leaving the house

The nurse is monitoring a client receiving glipizide. Which outcome indicates an ineffective response from the medication?

A glycosylated hemoglobin level of %12 Glipizide is an oral hypoglycemic agent administered to decrease the serum glucose level and the signs and symptoms of hyperglycemia. Therefore, a decrease in both polyuria and polyphagia would indicate a therapeutic response. Laboratory values are also used to monitor a client's response to treatment. A fasting blood glucose level of 100mg is within normal limits. However,glycosylated hemoglobin of 12% indicates poor glycemic control

High Hematocrit

A high hematocrit with a high RBC count and high hemoglobin indicates polycythemia. ... Dehydration—this is the most common cause of a high hematocrit. As the volume of fluid in the blood drops, the RBCs per volume of fluid artificially rises; with adequate fluid intake, the hematocrit returns to normal

High Platlets

A high platelet count may be referred to as thrombocytosis. This is usually the result of an existing condition (also called secondary or reactive thrombocytosis) such as: Cancer, most commonly lung, gastrointestinal, ovarian, breast or lymphoma. Anemia, in particular iron-deficiency anemia and hemolytic anemia.

high WBC

A high white blood cell count usually indicates: An increased production of white blood cells to fight an infection. A reaction to a drug that increases white blood cell production. A disease of bone marrow, causing abnormally high production of white blood cells.

Low BUN

A low BUN value may be caused by a diet very low in protein, malnutrition, or severe liver damage. Drinking excessive amounts of liquid may cause overhydration and cause a low BUN value. Women and children may have lower BUN levels than men because of how their bodies break down protein.

Low Hematocrit

A low hematocrit means the percentage of red blood cells is below the lower limits of normal (see above) for that person's age, sex, or specific condition (for example, pregnancy or high-altitude living). ... Causes of low hematocrit, or anemia, include: Bleeding (ulcers, trauma, colon cancer, internal bleeding)

Low RBC

A low red blood count or anemia can cause feelings of fatigue and weakness. When people have a lower red blood count than normal, their body has to work overtime to get enough oxygen to the cells. This can leave a person feeling drained. ... Red blood cells are continuously produced in the bone marrow.

Low WBC

A low white blood cell count usually is caused by: Viral infections that temporarily disrupt the work of bone marrow. Certain disorders present at birth (congenital) that involve diminished bone marrow function. ... Autoimmune disorders that destroy white blood cells or bone marrow cells.

Arterial Blood Gases PH High

A lower blood pH may indicate that your blood is more acidic and has higher carbon dioxide levels. A higher blood pH may indicate that your blood is more basic and has a higher bicarbonate level

Pertussis precautions

Droplet and contact

The nurse prepares to administer a prescription dose of scopolamine. The nurse should monitor for which side effect of this medication?

Dry mouth Scopolamine is an anticholinergic medication that causes the frequent side effects of dry mouth, urinary retention, decreased sweating, and dilation of the pupils. The other options describe the opposite effects of cholinergic-blocking agents and therefore are incorrect An anticholinergic agent is a substance that blocks the action of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine at synapses in the central and the peripheral nervous system. These agents inhibit parasympathetic nerve impulses by selectively blocking the binding of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine to its receptor in nerve cells.Anticholinergics can treat a variety of conditions, including: urinary incontinenceoveractive bladder (OAB)chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD) They also help block involuntary muscle movements associated with certain diseases such as Parkinson's disease. Sometimes, they're used before surgery to help maintain body functions while a person is treated with anesthesia.

Sulfisoxazole

Each does of sulfisoxazole should be administered with a full glass of water, and the client should maintain a high fluid intake. The medication is more soluble in alkaline urine. The cient should not be instructed to taper or discontinue the dose. Some forms of sulfisoxazole cause tye urine to turn dark brown or red. This does not indicate the need to notify the primary health care provider.

The nurse is assisting with preparing a plan od care for a 4 year old child hospitalized with nephrotic syndrome. Which interve is most appropriate

Having a high level of phosphate — or phosphorus — in your blood is known as hyperphosphatemia. ... Yet in larger-than-normal amounts, phosphate can cause bone and muscle problems and increase your risk for heart attacks and strokes. A high phosphate level is often a sign of kidney damage

low Hemoglobin

Hemoglobin (Hb or Hgb) is a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen throughout the body. In many cases, a low hemoglobin count is only slightly lower than normal and doesn't affect how you feel. If it gets more severe and causes symptoms, your low hemoglobin count may indicate you have anemia.

High Hemoglobin

High hemoglobin levels could be indicative of the rare blood disease, polycythemia. It causes the body to make too many red blood cells, causing the blood to be thicker than usual. This can lead to clots, heart attacks, and strokes. It is a serious lifelong condition that can be fatal if it is not treated.

Protein high

High levels of total protein can mean that either albumin and globulin are high. ... High levels of albumin are usually because a person is dehydrated. High globulin levels can be from blood diseases such as multiple myeloma or autoimmune diseases such as lupus, kidney disease, or liver disease.

specific gravity high

High specific gravity suggests that the urine is too concentrated. Conditions that cause high specific gravity include: dehydration. diarrhea or vomiting resulting in dehydration

albumin high

Higher than normal levels of albumin may indicate dehydration or severe diarrhea. If your albumin levels are not in the normal range, it doesn't necessarily mean you have a medical condition needing treatment. Certain drugs, including steroids, insulin, and hormones, can raise albumin levels.

glucose high

Hyperglycemia means high (hyper) glucose (gly) in the blood (emia). ... Hyperglycemia is a defining characteristic of diabetes—when the blood glucose level is too high because the body isn't properly using or doesn't make the hormone insulin. Eating too many processed foods may cause your blood sugar to rise.
