assignment will describe the pathophysiological condition, symptom, current best practice and treatment of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia (ALL). Four types of leukaemia Acute Myeloid Leukaemia (AML) – With this type of leukaemia, a patient’s myeloid cells get affected and develop rapidly. Leukemic blast cells develop in the bone marrow and blood. It is more common in adults (McKenna, 2000). Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia (ALL) - Patient’s with ALL have lymphoid cells affected and it grows rapidly. It

To integrate theory and practise, a sim scenario occurred where Jenny Coste developed an adverse drug reaction to her antibiotic, cefotaxime. The antibiotic was stopped immediately and a number of

Benzene Exposure – Leukemia in Factory Workers Examined Background As part of an occupational surveillance program for leukemia from excessive benzene exposure 1,832 factory workers were screened using a new diagnostic test. It was determined of those exposed, 214 tested positive, 29 tested negative and 90 non-exposure tested positive. With the use of a contingency table we will evaluate the measures of validity of the screening test used. In the study of the association between benzene exposure
