A female client arrives at the clinic reporting fatigue that is exhausting, bruising on the skin, and bleeding from the gums. Which diagnostic result(s) or history finding(s) correlates with a diagnosis of aplastic anemia?

The diagnostic results and history findings that correlate with aplastic anemia are: White blood cell (WBC) count being less than 1,000/µL (1 ×109/L) , a platelet count of 50 ×103/µL (50 ×109/L) , recent bout with mononucleosis viral infection , and completed chemotherapy for leukemia in the past year.

Explanation:

Aplastic anemia occurs when the body isn't producing enough blood cells, which leads to fatigue and a higher risk of infections and unstoppable bleeding.

The most common form of aplastic anemia occurs when the immune system attacks the stem cells in the bone marrow, which can happen when: a) one is exposed to toxic chemicals, b) one went through chemotherapy, c) having an autoimmune disorder, or d) one suffered from a viral infection.

when you breathe in, or inhale, your diaphragm contracts (tightens) and moves downward. this increases the space in your chest cavity, into which your lungs expand. the intercostal muscles between your ribs also enlarge the chest cavity. they contract to pull your rib cage both upward and outward when you inhale.
