| Test | Student Rationale | Model Rationale |
|---|---|---|
| B12 (Folate) Serum Level You Selected: Vitamin B12 (Folate) Deficiency
|
This test is particular and will rule out iron deficiency.
PLACE YOUR ORDER HERE |
Vitamin B12 (Folate) Deficiency: Linking the B12 (folate) serum level test to the vitamin B12 (folate) deficiency differential is the correct answer. The B12 (folate) serum level test is generally particular and highly sensitive. |
| Complete Blood Count with Differential You Selected: Aplastic Anemia
|
The WBC, RBC and platelets count will help out rule for anemia
Anita Douglas Conditions of the Hematologic System Test Linking |
Anemia of Chronic Disease: The hemoglobin, hematocrit, and RBC results from a complete blood count with differential will be useful in ruling in or out anemia of chronic disease. Aplastic Anemia: The RBC, WBC, and platelets result from a complete blood count with differential will be useful in ruling in or out aplastic anemia. Iron Deficiency: The MCV, MCH, hemoglobin, hematocrit, RDW, and RBC results from a complete blood count with differential will be useful in ruling in or out iron deficiency. Vitamin B12 (Folate) Deficiency: The MCV, hemoglobin, hematocrit, and MCH results from a complete blood count with differential will be useful in ruling in or out vitamin B12 (folate) deficiency. |
| Complete Metabolic Panel You Selected: Anemia of Chronic Disease
|
This test will help rule out various conditions | Anemia of Chronic Disease: The BUN, creatine, eGFR, platelets, and WBC results from a complete metabolic panel will be useful in ruling in or out anemia of chronic disease. Iron Deficiency: The BUN, creatinine, and eGFR results from a complete metabolic panel will be useful in ruling in or out iron deficiency. Vitamin B12 (Folate) Deficiency : The albumin results from a complete metabolic panel will be useful in ruling in or out vitamin B12 (folate) deficiency. |
| Ferritin You Selected: Iron Deficiency
|
This help will help in ruling out for iron deficiency
|
Iron Deficiency : Running a series of iron tests, including a ferritin test, is crucial for developing a full picture of the patient’s iron status and therefore ruling in or out iron deficiency. Vitamin B12 (Folate) Deficiency : Linking the ferritin test to the vitamin B12 (folate) deficiency differential is the correct answer. Ferritin tests are generally highly sensitive and highly specific. |
| Reticulocyte Count You Selected: Iron Deficiency
|
Reticulocyte count will help rule out various conditions | Iron Deficiency : Linking the reticulocyte count test to the iron deficiency differential is the correct answer. Reticulocyte counts are generally highly sensitive and highly specific. Vitamin B12 (Folate) Deficiency: Linking the reticulocyte count test to the vitamin B12 (folate) deficiency differential is the correct answer. Reticulocyte counts are generally highly sensitive and highly specific. |
