blood, or other body fluids can be tested. Identifies type of virus (herpes simplex 1 [HSV 1] or herpes
simplex 2 [HSV 2]).
● Antibody test: Blood is tested for antibodies to the virus. Some tests can identify the type of virus. An
immunobiot and ELISA test can be used to differentiate between HSV 1 and HSV 2.

35 units/L ALP: Expected reference range 30 to 120 units/L

excrete bilirubin. Bilirubin, indirect (unconjugated): Elevated; expected reference range 0.2 to 0.8
mg/dL Bilirubin, total: Elevated; expected reference range 0.3 to 1.0 mg/dL; Blood protein

client, staff, and visitors perform frequent hand hygiene. Restrict visitors who are ill.
● Avoid invasive procedures that could cause a break in tissue (rectal temperatures, injections,
indwelling urinary catheters) unless necessary; Keep dedicated equipment (blood pressure machine
thermometer, stethoscope) in the client's room; Administer colony-stimulating factors (filgrastim) as
prescribed to stimulate WBC production.
● Avoid crowds while undergoing chemotherapy; Take temperature daily. Report elevated temperature
to the provider; Avoid food sources that could contain bacteria (fresh fruits and vegetables;
undercooked meat, fish, and eggs: pepper and paprika); Avoid yard work, gardening, or changing a
pet's litter box. Wear disposable gloves when working with house plants or doing outdoor gardening;
