Answer: Based on the information provided, It does sound like a ringworm infection, but I never read anything about a ring-shaped rash or any raising on the foot. It more or less sounds like a mixture of both Ringworm, Toe Fungal, and Atropic Dermatitis. In my opinion I would classify it as a Ringworm Infection only if the child had direct contact with his/her feet after making contact with the cat. it's more of a 50/50 on how the child contracted this medical issue because, as I've read, It could be both Ringworm and Atropic Dermatitis. I can't exactly say it's Ringworm though due to nothing being mentioned about a Ring-shaped rash or and swelling/raising of the rash site.

labwork [276]

Capecitabine has been prescribed for a client with breast cancer and the test that will be done periodically is Complete Blood Count.

<h3>What is complete blood count?</h3>

A complete blood count (CBC) is a blood test used to assess your general health and find a number of illnesses, such as leukemia, anemia, and infections.

A complete blood count test evaluates several elements and characteristics of your blood, such as:

A red blood cell carries oxygen.

Virus-fighting white blood cells

The oxygen-carrying protein in red blood cells is called hemoglobin.

Hematocrit, which is the ratio of red blood cells to plasma, the liquid component of your blood

The blood clotting factor platelets

A complete blood count that reveals abnormal increases or declines in cell counts may point to an underlying medical problem that necessitates additional testing.

Answer:

Yes, both Coumadin and Heparin can be given at the same time.

Explanation:

Both Coumadin and Heparin can be given at the same time. Heparin is is a blood thinner (anti-coagulant) used to prevent and treat blood clots.The patient has been diagnosed with Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) which is the formation of blood clot in a vein located deep in the body (usually the lower thigh or leg). The heparin drip she is being administered will help treat the blood clot

Coumadin is also an anticoagualnt and is used for treating blood clotts. However, it takes days (about 3-4) before the treatment starts to work. It stops the synthesis of the four vitamin K–dependent clotting factors in the liver (factors II, VII, IX, X).

Both Heparin and Coumadin are overlapped for at least five days as they work differently. The Heparin is discontinued after anticoagulation occurs and the client starts to be treated with coumadin.
