Decreased RBC count on pregnant is normal because of the increase in plasma volume during pregnancy. The result indicates that a 1000 ml sample of blood contains 96 g of hemoglobin. Decreased hemoglobin on pregnant is normal because of their increase in plasma volume. The result indicates that a 1000 ml sample of blood contains .29 g of hemoglobin. Decreased hematocrit on pregnant is

normal because of their increase in plasma volume. Differential Count Lymphocytes Indicates the January amount of 23, 2012 lymphocytes participating with macrophages at a site of local injury 0.29 .20-.35 Lymphocytes are within the normal range indicating reduced infection as a result of continuous antibiotic treatment that does not require more lymphocytes to act upon it. The result is within normal range that suggests delayed participation of neutrophils to presence of infection

Neutrophils

Neutrophils are phagocytes engulfing bacteria and cellular products. It evaluates primary cell response during an acute inflammation process.

Color: yellow Transparenc y: turbid Sugar: negative Albumin: Positive Reaction: Acidic Specific Gravity: 1.020 Pus cells: 5 8/ HPF RBC: TNTC/HPF Epithelial cells: Moderate.

Normal Values (Units used in the hospital) Color: Straw yellow to amber. Transparenc y: transparent Sugar: negative Albumin: negative Specific Gravity: 1.015 1.025 Pus cells: 510/HPF RBC: o-2 HPF Epithelial cells: Moderate

Analysis and Interpreta tion of results The color, transparenc y , sugar, specific gravity, Pus cells, RBC, and epithelial are all normal except to the albumin that means Protein in the urine may mean kidney damage, an infection, cancer, high blood pressure, diabetes, systemic lupus erythemato sus (SLE), or glomerulone

phritis is present. Nursing Responsibilities: Prior to:  Explain to the significant others the test, its purpose and how it done.  Inform the significant others that the test will require urine specimen.  Provide a clean container for the specimen. During:  Collect the urine in a clean specimen cup.  Label the specimen properly. After:  The specimen should be delivered to the lab within 1 hour.  Obtain result and secure it to the chart  Refer result to the physician
