A platelet count of 9,000/mm3

<h3>Describe:</h3>

Bleeding and infection are two AML complications that are the main killers. Level and duration of platelet shortage are related to the likelihood of bleeding (thrombocytopenia). Ecchymoses and petechiae can be caused by a low platelet count. Major bleeding may also occur when the platelet count falls to under 10,000/mm3.

<h3>Describe platelet:</h3>

Megakaryocytes, very big cells found in the bone marrow, are the building blocks of platelets. They aid in the formation of blood clots that help wounds heal and to slow or stop bleeding. There may be issues if there are either too many or too few platelets, or if the platelets aren't functioning properly.

Darya [45]

The action the nurse should include in the client's plan of care who is receiving tamoxifen (nolvadex) for the treatment of breast cancer is to help the client cope with hot flashes

Tamoxifen, a selective estrogen receptor modulator, is a form of hormonal therapy (SERM). The medication binds to breast cancer cells' hormone receptors (specific proteins). Once the drug is within the cells, it prevents cancer from getting access to the hormones it needs to proliferate and develop.

Tamoxifen prevents estrogen from binding to the receptor, which prevents the cancer cell from receiving signals from estrogen that would otherwise cause it to grow and reproduce. Hot flashes, exhaustion, an elevated risk of blood clots, and endometrial cancer are some of the side effects that this drug may cause.
