I want to do a manual white blood cell differential count on this photo. I just need help with counting how many of each type of WBC there are (example: Lymphocyes-15, Segmented Neutrophils-12, monocytes-7, basophils-3, etc.) **** please note the smudged cells don't need to be counted! Just skip those pls
Melinda was working the day shift in the hematology laboratory. The laboratory’s protocol called for three levels of blood cell controls to be run at the following times: 1) at the beginning of the shift, 2) within each run of patient samples during the day and 3) any times reagents were changed. The mean for the low (abnormal) control for the red blood cell count was given as 2.00 x 10^12/L, the standard deviation was 0.15, and the confidence limit (acceptable control range) was 2.00 x 10^12/L +/- 2sd (or +/- 0.3).
The first morning low control result was 2.10 (x 10^12/L). In five subsequent runs, the low control results were 2.16, 2.19, 2.20, 2.22 and 2.25.
1. Do these values represent a shift, a trend, or neither?
2. Should Melinda be concerned about these values? Explain.
3. Does Melinda need to take any action?

Physical examination, he appeared slightly pale but had no other abnormalities.
His laboratory results was a following:
Hemoglobin 12.5 g/dL
Hematocrit 32%
RBC 4.2 X 1012/L
WBC count within normal limits
MCV 42 fL
MCH 29.7 pg
Urinalysis is normal

Rachel Greene has been a nurse at Spring Hills Medical Center for 13 years and has served well in a number of positions, including head of an intensive care unit (ICU) for 2 years. After returning from a short leave to care for her mother, she had four different temporary assignments. Her co-workers and the nurse managers on two units have noticed strong mood swings in Rachel, including, at times, what they felt was an excited and hyperactive state. Sometimes her mood seemed to change dramatically even during a shift; at times she was exceptionally pleasant, at other times she was argumentative and disruptive. One nurse said she heard from a friend (outside the hospital) that Rachel, who had been living alone since her mother died, was involved with a group of neighbors that have a reputation for using drugs. Her former nursing manager thought that Rachel might even be stealing controlled substances from the hospital; she and a…arrow_forward
