  • Where does blood cell formation occur in an adult?
    Red bone marrow
  • Which type of blood is the universal recipient?
    Type AB blood is the universal recipient.
  • Which best describes the flow of blood through the pulmonary circuit? a. Right atrium -> Right ventricle -> Lungs -> Left atrium b. Left atrium -> Left ventricle -> Lungs -> Right atrium c. Right ventricle -> Lungs -> Left atrium -> Left ventricle d. Lungs -> Right atrium -> Right ventricle -> Left atrium
    a. Right atrium -> Right ventricle -> Lungs -> Left atrium
  • Which is the most numerous type of blood cell?
    Red blood cells (erythrocytes) are the most numerous type of blood cell.
  • Would Ian have a normal hematocrit? Why or why not?
    To determine if Ian has a normal hematocrit, his hematocrit value should be compared to the normal range of 36-50%. If it falls within this range, it is considered normal.
  • What is not a formed element found in the blood?

    c. Producing hormones
  • What is not a component of blood plasma?
    c. Red blood cells
  • What is true of blood arriving from the pulmonary arteries?
    b. It is oxygen-poor
  • Due to the presence of plasma proteins, what property does blood plasma have?
    Due to the presence of plasma proteins, blood plasma has osmotic pressure, which helps maintain fluid balance.

    d. High acidity
  • What percent of blood is plasma?
    Approximately 55% of blood is plasma.
  • What is another name for polymorphonuclear leukocytes or PMNs?
    Another name for polymorphonuclear leukocytes or PMNs is neutrophils.
  • What is the most abundant of all the plasma proteins?
    Albumin is the most abundant of all the plasma proteins.
  • What is the most abundant type of plasma protein?
    Albumin is the most abundant type of plasma protein.
  • Which nursing action is appropriate before administering a unit of packed red blood cells?
    Before administering a unit of packed red blood cells, the nurse should verify the patient's identity and blood type to ensure compatibility.
  • What is the primary factory for the production of blood cells?
    c. Red bone marrow
  • What is the ground substance of blood?
    The ground substance of blood is plasma.
  • Which vitamin helps our blood to clot normally?
    Vitamin K helps our blood to clot normally.
  • What percentage of the blood is made up of formed elements?
    Approximately 45% of the blood is made up of formed elements.
  • Which vein is the only vein that carries oxygen-rich blood?
    The pulmonary vein is the only vein that carries oxygen-rich blood.
  • Which blood cell type is matched correctly with its function? a. Red blood cells - fight infection b. White blood cells - transport oxygen c. Platelets - blood clotting d. Plasma - carry nutrients
    c. Platelets - blood clotting
  • Which function is not associated with blood?
    Producing hormones
  • What is true about neutrophils in the immune system?
    They are involved in the immune response
  • Which substance stimulates the bone marrow to produce red blood cells?
    Erythropoietin stimulates the bone marrow to produce red blood cells.
  • What describes the role of capillaries in blood flow?
    Capillaries are sites of exchange
  • What type of formed element is labeled 1?
    Without a specific diagram, it's not possible to determine what 'labeled 1' refers to. However, common formed elements include red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.
  • What are the formed elements found in blood?
    The formed elements found in blood are erythrocytes (red blood cells), leukocytes (white blood cells), and thrombocytes (platelets).
  • What are the three main components of the circulatory system?
    The three main components of the circulatory system are the heart, blood, and blood vessels.
  • What condition increases a patient’s risk for thrombotic stroke?
    High blood pressure
  • What is a hematocrit measuring?
    A hematocrit measures the percentage of blood volume that is composed of red blood cells.
