the nurse is planning care for a patient with acute myeloid leukemia. which interventions ware priorities for this patient? (select all that apply) 1. place in private room 2. request soft bland diet 3. monitor rectal temperature every 4 hours 4. assist with oral hygiene after meals 5. implement airborne infection control precautions

1. place in a private room 2. request soft , bland diet 4. assist with oral hygiene after meals because acute myeloid leukemia causes both neutropenia and thrombocytopenia, with resulting increased risk for infection and bleeding so a private room and oral hygiene help reduce infection risk and a soft, bland diet reduces trauma to oral mucosal membranes.

Terry is a Physician Assistant. She is working under the supervision of Dr. Elizabeth Carroll. Terry trusts Dr. Carroll and knows she is an extremely competent and compassionate doctor. They have been a team for about two years, and it works out perfectly because Terry is a morning person and Dr. Carroll is not. Unless there is a difficult case, Terry makes all the early morning rounds of Dr. Carroll’s patients at the two local hospitals, and then goes home for an early lunch with her kindergartner son. Later, she sees non-critical care patients at Dr. Carroll’s office for a few hours. Unless there is a seriously ill patient, Dr. Carroll will start work a little later in the morning and end her day with the evening rounds at the hospital. This morning, Terry is checking in on a new patient, Mr. Lane, at St. John’s Hospital. Mr. Lane has a history of acute myeloid leukemia (AML), and Dr. Carroll admitted him yesterday. According to the chart, Mr. Lane had a blood transfusion yesterday afternoon. Dr. Carroll noted on the chart that Mr. Lane was doing well at 7:00 p.m. However, she noted Mr. Lane may need an additional unit of blood if his blood oxygen values did not return to normal ranges soon. The chart indicates that Mr. Lane had just started receiving an additional unit. Terry enters the room and finds Mr. Lane experiencing chills and shortness of breath. Terry quickly takes the patient’s vital signs. She notes that Mr. Lane’s heart rate is high, his blood pressure low, and he has a fever. Mr. Lane is alert and complaining that he feels horrible. Terry talks to the floor nurse and finds that she has already stopped the transfusion and alerted the charge nurse, the doctor on call, and Dr. Carroll. The patient is most likely experiencing __________. Select the correct answer an autoimmune disease a type I hypersensitivity an immunodeficiency disease a transfusion reaction

a tranfusion reaction More test answers on https://studyhippo.com/chapter-19-micro-hw/

What is Acute Myeloid Leukemia?

Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) is a type of cancer of the blood and bone marrow. It is an aggressive form of leukemia, characterized by rapid growth of abnormal white blood cells that crowd out normal cells in the bone marrow. It’s one of the most common types of leukemia in adults, but can occur at any age. The cause of AML is unknown, but certain risk factors may increase your chances of developing it such as exposure to radiation or chemotherapy, being over 65 years old, or having certain inherited genetic disorders. Symptoms can include fatigue, fever, shortness of breath, bruising or bleeding easily and feeling full after only a small amount of food. Diagnosis typically involves a physical exam and lab tests such as a complete blood count (CBC) and bone marrow biopsy. Treatment for AML depends on several factors including age, health status and genetic makeup. Options may include chemotherapy drugs given intravenously or orally to kill cancer cells; targeted therapies designed to attack specific parts of cancer cells; stem cell transplantation to replace damaged bone marrow with healthy donor stem cells; and radiation therapy which uses high-energy rays to destroy cancerous tissue. AML can be a challenging disease to treat with its aggressive nature and potential for relapse after treatment has finished. However with new developments in targeted therapies there is hope that this disease can be managed more successfully in the future.
