What types of cells are present in Hodgkin's lymphoma?
RBC'S
Bence-Jones cells
Stem cells
Reed-Sternberg cell
The Correct Answer is D
A. RBC's: Red blood cells (RBCs) are not indicative of Hodgkin’s lymphoma; they are involved in oxygen transport throughout the body and are not a specific marker for any lymphoma.
B. Bence-Jones Cells: Bence-Jones proteins are light chain proteins found in the urine of patients with multiple myeloma, not Hodgkin’s lymphoma.
C. Stem Cells: Stem cells are progenitor cells that can develop into various blood cell types but are not characteristic of Hodgkin’s lymphoma specifically. Reed-Sternberg cells, not stem cells, are the hallmark of this disease.
D. Reed-Sternberg Cell: Reed-Sternberg cells are large, abnormal B cells that are characteristic of Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Their presence in lymph node tissue is a key diagnostic feature of the disease.

Correct Answer is B
Explanation
A. Initiate a 2 L/day fluid restriction: Hydration is crucial in sickle cell crisis to prevent further sickling and reduce blood viscosity. A fluid restriction would worsen the crisis.
B. Assist with administering a blood transfusion: Blood transfusions are commonly given during sickle cell crisis to manage anemia and reduce the concentration of sickled cells, which can improve oxygen delivery and relieve pain.
C. Withhold opioids to avoid dependence: Pain management, including opioids if needed, is essential during a sickle cell crisis. The risk of dependence is secondary to controlling acute pain.
D. Encourage exercise: Rest is recommended during a crisis to reduce oxygen demand and prevent further sickling. Exercise would increase oxygen needs, worsening the crisis.
Correct Answer is C
Explanation
A. Hip: While “hip” can sometimes colloquially refer to the iliac crest, it is not commonly used to describe the specific site for aspiration outside of the iliac crest.
B. Cervical spine: The cervical spine is not a site used for bone marrow aspiration due to its inaccessibility and proximity to critical structures.
C. Sternum: The sternum is a common site for bone marrow aspiration in adults as it provides direct access to the marrow.
D. Humerus: The humerus is generally not used for bone marrow aspirations as it does not provide as accessible or large an area for aspiration.
