A client's white blood cell count is 7500/mm3. Calculate the expected range for this client's neutrophils
(Record your answer using whole numbers separated with a hyphen; do not use commas.) ______/mm3
ANS:
4125-5625/mm3
The normal range for neutrophils is 55% to 75% of the white blood cell count.
7500 × 0.55 = 4125
7500 × 0.75 = 5625
So the range would be expected to be 4125/mm3 to 5625/mm3.
