HU The Laboratory Value of Hemoglobin Case Study
I’m working on a nursing question and need an explanation to help me learn.
A 34-year-old cyclist is brought to the emergency department after being involved in a mountain bike crash that caused the client to be slammed against a tree. Initial laboratory results show:
Hemoglobin |
7.9 g/dL |
White blood count |
1800/L |
Platelet count |
100,000/L |
Potassium |
5.5 mmol/L |
For each laboratory result, use an X to indicate what action should be taken from the provided options. Only one action can be made for each result. Actions can be used only once.
