Simple question about leukemia and blood platelet, white blood cells etc?
A patient with leukemia is being treated with chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The patient is found to have a low blood platelet count and a high percentage of the white blood cells are abnormal.
Which is this patient's symptoms?
The answer is: Disease Resistance - Low, Blood Clotting - Low, Oxygen Transport: normal
I picked: Disease Resistance - High(since there are a lot of white blood cells), Blood Clotting - Low(Since there is low platelet count), Oxygen Transport - High
Why am I wrong? Why is the answer right?
- crazykatiescorner
The answer is right because I read in some books in science about leukemia and my teacher had chemotheraoy twice so i know

"high percentage of the white blood cells are ABNORMAL"
Even though the white blood cell count is high, almost all of the white blood cells are malformed or immature and not doing their jobs.

Also, oxygen transport is dictated by red blood cells. Since that count wasn't revealed, I'd assume oxygen transport to be normal.
