Explain the identification of neutrophil, basophil, lymphocytes, and platelets. Describe the relative abundance of each kind of blood cell, as well as their function in the body. Where is each kind of cell produced? Do all stay within the confines of the blood vessels, or can some migrate throughout the body? Do all have nuclei? How long do they Iive? Where are old blood cells destroyed

Category: Physiological Adaptation A 46-year-old patient with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) expresses confusion to the nurse about the development of anemia despite the disease’s characteristic increased white blood cell production. The patient presents with fatigue and pallor, common symptoms of anemia. To address the patient’s concern, how should the nurse best explain the reason for anemia in the context of CLL? A. The overproduction of white blood cells can crowd out red blood cells in the bone marrow. B. The presence of anemia is unrelated to the proliferation of white blood cells. C. The excessive white blood cells consume nutrients that would otherwise nourish red blood cells. D. The abnormal white blood cells have a reduced lifespan, which does not affect red blood cells.
