QUESTIONS WITH VERIFIED ANSWERS
Dyspnea - Correct Answer -shortness of breath
Tachycardia - Correct Answer -fast heart rate
Primary Anemia
Secondary Anemia - Correct Answer -2 Types of Anemia
Primary Anemia - Correct Answer -anemia due to red blood cell or associated problem.
Secondary Anemia - Correct Answer -anemia as the result of another disease; such as persistent
bleeding, leukemia, cancer etc.
Hematopoiesis - Correct Answer -normal formation and development of blood cells in the red bone
marrow

,Hematopoietic Disorders - Correct Answer -disorders that arise as a result of unregulated proliferation
(growth) of blood stem cells.
Leukemia
Polycythemia Vera (Primary Polycythemia)
Erythrocytosis - Correct Answer -3 Types of Hematopoietic Disorders
Leukemia - Correct Answer -malignant diseases characterized by replacement of bone marrow with
white blood cells. a malignant tumor of blood forming tissues. uncontrolled production of WBCs. prevent
erythroblasts from maturing into erythrocytes. also a reduction in erythrocytosis and platelets
(thrombocytes). considered "cancer of the blood" or WBCs. classified as Acute or Chronic depending
leukemic cell maturity. can also be classified as lymphocytic or myelogenous.
Acute (Immature)
Chronic (Developed)
Lymphocytic
Myelogenous - Correct Answer -4 Classifications of Leukemia
marrow WBCs tumor blood - Correct Answer -Leukemia is a malignant diseases characterized by
replacement of bone BLANK with BLANK. a malignant BLANK of BLANK forming tissues. uncontrolled
production of WBCs.

,erythroblasts reduction cancer - Correct Answer -Leukemia also prevents BLANK from maturing into
erythrocytes. also a BLANK in erythrocytosis and platelets (thrombocytes). considered "BLANK of the
blood" or WBCs.
Erythroblasts - Correct Answer -immature red blood cells
spleen joint hemorrhage immune - Correct Answer -Symptoms of Leukemia include Swollen BLANK, Fever,
Weight loss, Fatigue, BLANK pain, Tendency to BLANK, Anemia, and Compromised BLANK system
Polycythemia Vera (Primary Polycythemia) - Correct Answer -Opposite to anemia. Occurs most often in
older adults. characterized by a marked increase in RBCs, platelets, WBCs and overall blood volume. No
cure - treatment focuses on decreasing the number of blood cells.
Leucopenia - Correct Answer -an abnormal decrease in the number of circulating white blood cells
(leucocytes, leukocytes). seen in tuberculosis, measles, mumps and influenza.
Tuberculosis
Measles
Mumps
Influenza - Correct Answer -4 Diseases that can result in Leucopenia

, Anemia - Correct Answer -a decrease in the number of red blood cells; a decrease in the amount of
hemoglobin; or a combination of both of these:
RBC Production Decrease
RBC Destruction Increase
RBC Loss - Correct Answer -3 Causes of Anemia
pallor fatigue dyspnea tachycardia - Correct Answer -Symptoms of anemia include BLANK (paleness) in
the mucous membranes, BLANK and weakness due to decease oxygen delivery to the tissues, BLANK
(shortness of breath), and BLANK (increased heart rate) because of the inadequate amount of oxygen.
Hemoglobin - Correct Answer -the transport protein that carries oxygen to the tissues by the blood
anemia increase volume cure - Correct Answer -Polycythemia Vera (Primary Polycythemia) is the
Opposite to BLANK. Occurs most often in older adults. characterized by a marked BLANK in RBCs,
platelets, WBCs and overall blood BLANK. No BLANK- treatment focuses on decreasing the number of blood
cells.
