Blood cell count

Module 5 � First Post

ACTIVITY 1
The purpose of this activity is to apply what you have learned in the first week of this module about blood, to make a simple diagnosis using reference lab values of blood cells and predict the clinical manifestations in clients with blood abnormalities.
Analyzing a CBCs (Complete Blood Count)

1. Analyze the following CBCs (Complete Blood Cell Count). For each value out of range, specify:
   a. The name of the condition (diagnosis), and b. The possible clinical manifestations observed in this hypothetical individual. In other words, what symptoms and signs would you expect to find in a client which blood cell levels are like the ones shown in these CBCs?
   c. What do you think are the consequences of each of these conditions?
2. Engage in a discussion with your classmates about the possible diagnosis, causes, clinical presentations, and possible solutions for the individuals in these case studies.
