Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reviewing the complete blood count results for a 4-year-old child who is receiving treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Which of the following findings should indicate to the nurse that the treatment is having a therapeutic effect?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: WBC count 15,000/mm3 (5,000 to 10,000/mm3). In acute lymphoblastic leukemia, the WBC count is typically elevated due to the overproduction of immature lymphocytes. A decrease in the WBC count within the normal range indicates a positive response to treatment, as it suggests a reduction in the abnormal lymphocyte production. The other choices are incorrect because they indicate abnormal values that are not indicative of a therapeutic effect. Platelet count, RBC count, and hemoglobin levels are commonly affected by leukemia and its treatments, but they do not directly reflect the effectiveness of the treatment in controlling the disease.
