1
Q

What is the difference between patient adherence and compliance

A

compliance is a one way interaction between clinician and patient

adherence is when a patient freely chooses to follow suggested guidelines.

Q

What are the normal values for: Total lymphocyte count

A

> 1800 cells/mm cubed

19
Q

What are the normal values for: Blood glucose

A

70-110 mg/dL

20
Q

What are the normal values for: Platelets ?

A

140-400 k/uL

21
Q

What are the normal values for: Hematocrit (HCT) ?

A

Men: 42-52%
Women: 37-47%
Critical Values: <15-20% or >60%

22
Q

What are the normal values for hemoglobin ?

A

Men: 14-17.4 g/dL
Women: 12-16 g/dL
Critical Values: <5-7 g/dL or >20 g/dL

23
Q

What are the normal values for A1C ?

A

<5.7%

24
Q

What are the normal values for: Total White Blood Cells ?

A

5.0-10.0 10 to the 9th/L

25
Q

Vitamin A

A

also called retinol

help maintain healthy skin and epithelial integrity, required for collagen synthesis, promotes granulation tissue formation, and facilitates epthelialization.

26
Q

Vitamin C

A

also called ascorbic acid

needed to build and maintain tissues, helps the body absorb iron and is necessary for collagen synthesis.

27
Q

Vitamin K

A

essential for blood clotting, patients on anticoagulants should not initiate vitamin K supplementation without clearance

28
Q

B Complex

A

a group of eight water soluble vitamins required for normal immune function and energy metabolism. Aid in WBC formation, antibody formation, and resistance to infection. Facilitate fibroblast function and collagen synthesis, improving wound tensile strength.

29
Q

Vitamin E

A

helps prevent free radical related cellular damage.

Decreases inflammatory phase of wound healing, enhances immune function, and decreases platelet adhesion.

30
Q

Zinc

A

necessary for: collagen and protein synthesis, cell proliferation, epithelialization, and normal immune function. It is also an antioxidant.

31
Q

Iron

A

essential component of hemoglobin, required for oxygen transport, antibody production and normal immune function.

32
Q

Copper

A

required for hemoglobin synthesis, iron transport and absorption

33
Q

Magnesium

A

important in bone formation, protein synthesis, repair, critical cofactor to over 300 enzyme systems.

34
Q

Calcium

A

vital to bone formation, bone remodeling, and muscle contraction

fibrin synthesis in blood clotting

important neurotransmitter

35
Q

Phosphorous

A

needed for bone formation, normal metabolism, fluid balance, essential in enzyme systems

36
Q

Selenium

A

required for synthesis of up to 30 proteins and assistance of normal immune function.

37
Q

What does the lab measure value and why is it important: Creatinine

A

creatinine measures kidney function and protein status. Normal creatinine levels are .8-1.5 mg/dL.

38
Q

What does the lab measure value and why is it important: Serum Albumin

A

Serum albumin is a plasma protein whose decreased levels can indicate protein deficiency, malnutrition, increased hospitalization time and complications, more adverse pressure ulcer formation risk, and tissue edema.

normal is 3.5g/dL

39
Q

What does the lab measure value and why is it important: Prealbumin

A

prealbumin is a major transport protein. Prealbum decrease levels can indicated mortality risk, though unreliable as a standard.

40
Q

What does the lab measure value and why is it important: Serum Transferrin

A

serum transferrin is an indicator of protein status that is responsive to short term change.

41
Q

What does the lab measure value and why is it important: Blood Urea Nitrogen ( BUN)

A

BUN is an indicator of renal function, normally between 5-25 mg/dL. Elevated BUN levels indicate a decrease in wound healing.

42
Q

What does the lab measure value and why is it important: Total Lymphocyte count (TLC)

A

an indirect measure of nutritional status and immune function. Decreased TLC is associated with delayed wound healing, and increased mortality.

43
Q

What does the lab measure value and why is it important: Blood Glucose

A

measures blood sugar

increased risk of ulceration, infection, and impaired wound healing.
