Calculate the absolute neutrophil count (ANC) for the following: WBC count of 5000 mm³; neutrophils (segs) of 10%; and nonsegmented neutrophils (bands) of 12%.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Determine the total percentage of neutrophils ("polys," or "segs," and "bands"). Multiply white blood cell (WBC) count by percentage of neutrophils.
WBC = 1000/mm³, neutrophils = 7%, and nonsegmented neutrophils (bands) = 7%
Step 1: 10% + 12% = 22%
Step 2: 0.22 * 5000 = 1100/mm³ ANC
