Can someone help me decide where the correct placement of these lab values belong on data collection sheets. Options are: Health promotion, Musculoskeletal, Cardiovascular, Respiratory, Urinary/reproductive, Endocrine, There are other slots but are obviously not acceptable.
Abnormal Red blood cell count 3.7g/dl --- Cardiovascular (where they reside), Urinary/reproductive (chemoreceptors determine amount made), or Musculoskeletal (where they are made).
Abnormal H/H 11.4/34.2--- Cardiovascular, Respiratory (Offloading carbon dioxide and oxygen uploading (COPD patient)), Musculoskeletal, Endocrine (Nitric oxide effect).
Abnormal BUN/Creatine 36/2.2--- Cardiovascular, Urinary/reproductive (Kidney malfunction) , Endocrine (latent diabetic effect (current glucose--97)), Gastrointestinal (Gi bleeding or high protein diet).
A1C indicated diabetic, Occult testing indicated blood in stool, (medical dx): COPD, CHF, Chronic Renal Failure, Hypothyroidism, Chronic Anemia.
The question: Is there standard placement for these values and where are they suppose to go?
