Clients with haematological disorders need holistic nursing care, including emotional support and care for problems involving major body systems. This chapter focuses on health changes resulting from changes in red cells, white cells, platelets and clotting factors. Before proceeding with this chapter, read Chapter 33, which provides a review of the physiology of blood and its formation, as well as important information about assessing clients with haematological disorders. | Publication Type: | Book Chapter | Source of Publication: | Medical-Surgical Nursing: Critical thinking in client care, v.2, p. 1110-11161 | Publisher: | Pearson Australia | Place of Publication: | Frenchs Forest, Australia | ISBN: | 9781442534490 9781442517080 |
