Calculate the absolute neutrophil count for a child with a WBC = 10,000/mm3, neutrophils = 25%, and nonsegmented neutrophils (bands) = 22%. Record your answer in a whole number
_____________
ANS:
4700
Perform the calculation
Determine the total percentage of neutrophils ("polys," or "segs," and "bands").
Multiply white blood cell (WBC) count by percentage of neutrophils.
WBC = 10,000/mm3, neutrophils = 25%, and nonsegmented neutrophils (bands) = 22%
Step 1: 25% + 22% = 47%
Step 2: 0.47 ? 10,000 = 4700/mm3 ANC
