Answer: the nurse will refer this child to a specialist for a bone marrow biopsy.
Explanation:
From the symptoms which where observed by the primary health care provider, the child had recurrent fevers, bone pain, and a recent loss of weight. While the physical examination revealed scattered petechiae, lymphadenopathy, and bruising. On further Laboratory diagnosis of the blood film, the full blood count revealed:
--> thrombocytopenia ( low platelet level)
--> anemia( lack of red blood cells) and
--> an elevated white blood cell count.
The major importance of full blood count is to evaluate the general health and detect a variety of of disorders. Since the blood picture is not normal, the health care provider should refer the child for BONE MARROW BIOPSY.
This is because the blood cells are produced from the bone marrow. Bone marrow biopsy is a test done to show if the bone marrow is healthy and able to make normal amount of blood cells.
The results of the bone marrow biopsy will help the primary care nurse to determine the cause of the abnormalities seen in the blood picture and will give the best directions to follow for an appropriate diagnosis and treatment.
Answer:a. This study involved comparison of two populations. What were the populations?
1) Pregnant women who took the drug.
2)Pregnant women who didn't take the drug.
b. Do you suppose the data were obtained in a survey or experiment?
- Survey
C.Provide a descriptive statistic that could be used to estimate the number of women out of 1000 in this population who have tissue abnormalities.
-out of 1,000 women developed tissue abnormalities
63/3980=.0158
15.8%
D. remember that women whose mothers took the drug were twice as likely to develop tissue abnormalities.)
___ out of 1,000 women developed tissue abnormalities
15.8/2
7.9
e. Medical sudies often use a relatively large sample (in this case 3980). Why?
medical studies often use a relatively large sample (in this case, 3980) because disease occurrences can be rare and difficult to observe when only isolated populations are considered.
A typical neuron consists of a cell body (soma), dendrites, and a single axon. The soma is usually compact. The axon and dendrites are filaments that extrude from it. Dendrites typically branch profusely and extend a few hundred micrometers from the soma. I know that this only answers part of it, but I hope this helps.
