Neutropenia.

Having too few neutrophils, a particular kind of white blood cell, leads to neutropenia. While all white blood cells aid in the body's ability to fight infections, neutrophils are particularly crucial in the battle against some illnesses, particularly those brought on by bacteria.

You may be more susceptible to infections if you have neutropenia. Even common oral and digestive system bacteria can cause significant sickness when neutropenia is severe.

A reduction in neutrophils leads to fever and infection (neutropenia). Anemia, or low red blood cell counts, contributes to AML symptoms such pallor, weakness, and weariness.

Pancytopenia, a generalized drop in all blood components, is not the reason why AML patients have fever. In AML, petechiae and bruises are brought on by thrombocytopenia, a decrease in platelet count.

Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

The nurse knows the written instructions for healthcare when a person is incapacitated is called an advance directive. This includes instructions about CPR, death, resuscitation, or prolonging life beyond consciousness.

The caregiver must be authorized to make healthcare decisions for a person who is deemed incapable of giving consent. The advance directive may be in any form written, electronic or oral.

The nurse will help families to create an advance directive that can guide their healthcare needs without having to address those issues.

Explanation:

An advance directive is a document that a person places in physical or electronic form in order to express his or her preferences regarding medical care at the time of incapacitation.

Advance Directives are legal documents written by the incapacitated, living, or deceased. These directives allow families and doctors to abide by their wishes when making healthcare decisions for them.

The nurse takes care of the patient’s life by providing them with the best care possible and should make sure that there is an advance directive on file.

mario62 [17]

In small children or infants, a foreign body obstruction of the airway should be suspected if there is a sudden onset of <u>respiratory distress</u>

Signs of FBAO include a sudden onset of respiratory distress with coughing, gagging, stridor, or wheezing.

<h3>What is Foreign body airway obstruction(FBAO)?</h3>

Foreign object airway obstruction: Partial or complete obstruction of the airway to the lungs by a foreign object (food, beads, toys, etc.). Shortness of breath episodes can occur suddenly with a  cough. Restlessness is common in the early stages of airway obstruction. Symptoms of shortness of breath include difficult and ineffective breathing (apnea) until the patient stops breathing. Loss of consciousness occurs if the obstruction is not removed.

Severe or complete foreign-body airway obstruction can kill the victim in minutes if he doesn't get appropriate treatment. The primary technique to clear an obstruction in a conscious adult is administration of abdominal thrusts—the Heimlich maneuver.
