    A complete blood count (CBC) was performed to evaluate the overall health of a patient and detect any disorders such as anemia or infection. The CBC results showed a low hemoglobin and hematocrit levels, indicating active bleeding and red blood cell destruction. The white blood cell count was elevated due to an infection from bacteria invading the respiratory system. Differential counts found high neutrophil and low lymphocyte levels, further suggesting an infection from bacteria or respiratory disease.

    COMPLETE BLOOD COUNT

    -is the branch of medicine that deals with the blood and with the organs
    and body systems associated with the production of blood in the body.

    -a complete blood count (CBC), also known as Full Blood Count (FBC) or
    Full Blood Exams (FBE) or blood panel, is a test panel requested by a doctor or other
    medical professional that gives information about the cells in a patient’s blood

    PURPOSED:

     This test was done to evaluate overall health and detect a wide range of disorders,
    including anemia or presence of infection.
     Routine laboratory examination

    PROCEDURE:

     The patient is assigned in sitting position with the left or right hand stretch on a platform
    on a table with the palm facing upward
     A venipuncture site will be chosen on where to get the blood specimen
     A tourniquet is applied around the arm
     The skin overlying the vein will be cleaned using cotton and an aseptic
     A needle is inserted through the area of cleansed skin into the vein below where the
    tourniquet is applied
     Blood is pulled from the vein via the needle by gently pulling the plunger of the syringe
     After that, tourniquet is removed to facilitate venous return
     A dry cotton ball is taped in the insertion site upon the removal of the needle
     The blood sample is then sent to the laboratory for analysis

    NURSING RESPONSIBILITIES:

     Check the doctor’s order


     Explain the procedure to the patient and its rationale
     Use aseptic technique by cleansing the venipuncture site with cotton and alcohol
     Inform patient what he/she may feel
     There are no food, fluid, or medication restrictions unless by medical direction
     Evaluate the venipuncture site and pressure if there is continuous bleeding
     Report any results to the requesting HCP, who will discuss the results with the patient
