What is albumin?
Give this one a try later!
- Plasma protein, maintaining fluid balance
- Low levels may indicate malnutrition
What is total cholesterol, LDL, HDL, and triglycerides?
Give this one a try later!
- LDL: bad cholesterol because of its role in atherosclerotic disease
- HDL: transport excess cholesterol from the tissues back to the liver where
it is broken down and excreted in bile. Considered good cholesterol
because high levels reduce the risk of heart disease
,What is creatinine?
Give this one a try later!
- Ratio of BUN and Cr is between 6-25
- Male: 0.6-1.2 mg/ dL
- Female: 0.5-1.1 mg/ dL
- It can assist in determining whether a patient is fluid volume depleted
- Tend to be more sensitive in detecting renal impairment compared to
BUN
Care during a bone marrow aspiration
Give this one a try later!
- Position the pt in the prone or lateral position
- Maintain sterile technique throughout the procedure
- Provide emotional support during the procedure
- Label the specimen in the presence of the pt and transport it to the lab
MRI (brain pathology and joint visualization)
Give this one a try later!
, - With or without contrast
- Superconducting magnet
- Contraindications: IV infusion pumps, mechanical vents, metal implanted
pacemakers, med pumps, gunshot wounds
- Assessment and screening needs to be complete prior to exam
- All jewelry must be removed
- Tattoos may cause burning or swelling
What is hemoglobin (Hgb)?
Give this one a try later!
- Protein primarily responsible for oxygen transport to and carbon dioxide
transport from the erythrocytes (RBC)
- Allows us to know if our patient is perfusing oxygen to all organs
- Male: 14-18
- Female: 12-16
- Average rule: above 12
What is an ultrasound related to urinary diagnostics?
Give this one a try later!
- Non-invasive test that uses reflected sound waves to visualize the kidneys
- Blood flow can be monitored during the procedure
- Ultrasound of the bladder or kidneys
- Assesses the size, shape, and location of the kidneys
- Patient education:
- Increase fluids
- Full bladder during procedure
