Ongoing or partial is the type of assessment the nurse is proposing when the nurse recommends that a client come back once every 3 months in the coming year to have his cholesterol checked, to make sure he is maintaining a healthy level.

Partial assessment is a short version of comprehensive health assessment that includes review of at least one body system, nursing diagnosis etc.

Cholesterol is a waxy substance found in your blood. Your body needs cholesterol to build healthy cells, but high levels of cholesterol can increase your risk of heart disease. High cholesterol leads to development of fatty deposits in the blood vessel.

The normal range for cholesterol levels is less than 200 mg/dL. A few signs for high level of cholesterol are nausea, numbness, extreme fatigue, angina etc.  A few exercises which help lower cholesterol levels are  walking, running, cycling, and swimming.

Answer:

"I will chew my tablets."

"I will include licorice in my diet."

The patient statements regarding chewing the tablets and including licorice in the diet require additional education. The tablets should be swallowed whole and the patient should avoid, not include, licorice in the diet. The patient statements regarding eating a banana each day (a source of potassium), taking the medication with water (a full glass is recommended), and notifying the healthcare provider if constipation occurs (a clinical manifestation associated with hypokalemia) indicate correct understanding.

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.
