Evaluating an Abnormal CBC
Roger Brown, an African American cancer patient, received a chemotherapeutic agent as a treatment for his disease. The drug used to destroy the cancer also produced an undesirable condition known as bone marrow depression. The complete blood count (CBC) profile shown here indicates that this patient is in trouble. Review the lab values, and answer the following questions.
- 1. Note that the platelet count is very low. How does this affect the patient? Discuss measures to protect him.
- 2. Note that the white blood cell count is abnormally low. With the second line of defense impaired, how should the first line of defense be protected?
