1. How are the concepts of cellular regulation and perfusion connected to each other?
a. An intricate network of signals regulates cell growth and other cellular activities. When
this communication system goes awry and signals aren't properly conveyed or processed,
many diseases can result, including cancer
b. Perfusion is the passage of fluid through the circulatory system or lymphatic system to an
organ or a tissue, usually referring to the delivery of blood to a capillary bed in tissue.
Perfusion may also refer to fixation via perfusion, used in histological studies
2. What are 3 safety concerns that you, as the nurse caring for a client with impaired cellular
regulation, would have for a client with impaired cellular regulation?
a. Protecting the client from injuries related to impaired oxygenation especially if the
patient RBC/HGB are affected
b. If the patients' platelets are affected, safety concerns include protection from injury
related to increased bleeding tendencies
c. Preventing infection is a concern, especially for clients with impaired WBC
production/function
See Harding, Table 33-11 to answer the following questions (#3-6)
3. The client is scheduled for a bone marrow aspiration and biopsy. The new nurse graduate is
completing the pre-procedure checklist but does not understand the rationale for the following
items. How should the nurse preceptor, explain the items below? (Use your own words)
a. Before: Explain procedure to patient. Obtain signed consent form.
Perform a surgical time-out before procedure. Analgesics may be given
to enhance patient comfort and cooperation.

days may be normal. Assess for infection.
