Trinity Valley Community CollegeAssociate Degree NursingFocused Clinical Activity – Level IIIConcept: Cellular RegulationClinical Objectives: 1. The student will be able to determine when a patient’s lab data indicates a risk for Developing an infection related to cancer disease process or treatments. 2. The student will list the hematopoietic growth factors (biologic response modifiers) and the uses in cancer care.Instructions: 1. The student will research several patient’s CBC results. (Preferably a patient diagnosed with cancer of some kind).2. Compare the patient’s WBC count and discuss the implications of the results. 3. Practice math calculations determining the Absolute Segmented Neutrophil Count (ASC) or Absolute Granulocyte Count (AGC) they are the referring to the same calculation.
