Perform a corrected WBC count given the following: WBC = 30,000/ mm³, nucleated RBCs = 12/100 WBCs.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To correct the WBC count, we need to account for the presence of nucleated RBCs. We do this by subtracting the number of nucleated RBCs from the total WBC count. In this case, we have 12 nucleated RBCs for every 100 WBCs or a ratio of 1:8.3 (100/12). Therefore, we can calculate the corrected WBC count as follows: WBC count = (30,000/ mm³) * (1 / (1 + 8.3)) = 26.7/mm³ Therefore, the best choice is C.
