ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti




Although she is afebrile, the nurse conducts a thorough physical examination, including urinalysis and
ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti




complete blood count (CBC). The total assessment is necessary because:
ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti




1. All body systems interact, and symptoms could indicate a variety of diagnoses.
ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti




2. The symptoms are vague and may be signs of aging.
ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti

vulnerability to illness/disease.
ti ti ti




2.
The nurse must not attribute symptoms only to the aging process. 3.
ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti

Assumptions of not reporting properly may not be true. ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti

A CBC will not evaluate kidney function for a patient with renal disease. 2.

ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti




is sensitive.

ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti

The nurse practitioner should have a plan for the use of each test result value obtained. 2.
ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti




When considering which laboratory tests to order, it is worth remembering the doctrine primum no nnocere—
ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti




first, do no harm. ti ti ti




3.
Once laboratory tests are available for review, tests results should be discussed with the patient, with
ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti




abnormal test results interpreted for the aging individual and addressed with the patient and caregivers. 4.
ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti




Any risks involved in laboratory testing must be considered concerning the patient's clinical condition and
ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti




weighed against the test's expected benefits.
ti ti ti ti ti ti

ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti
