1. Why is it necessary to compute for corrected WBC count in the presence of significant number of nucleated red blood cells? 2. Compute for the dilution factor of the RBC pipet if blood is sucked up to 0.2 mark and the diluting fluid at 11 mark. 3. A manual white blood cell (WBC) count was performed. A total of 39 cells were counted in all 9-mm² squares of the Neubauer hemocytometer. What is the WBC count. 4. A 1:200 dilution of a patient's sample was made and 330 red blood cells were counted in an area of 0.2 mm². What is the RBC count? 5. Blood is sucked up to .8 mark and the diluting fluid until the last mark of the RBC pipet. A total of 164 cells were counted in only 2 WBC (large) squares. Compute for the total cell count.
