Hematologic and Oncologic Care Plans

Bleeding risk, infection risk, and transfusion safety. Small findings carry large consequences here.

12 plans in this system

Small findings carry large consequences in this system. A low grade fever, a new bruise, or a mild reaction during a transfusion each triggers an immediate action, and these plans name what that action is.

CP-025Members only

Sickle Cell Crisis

Sickle cell items test whether you treat the pain you are told about.

CP-026Members only

Neutropenia During Chemotherapy

Neutropenia items test the absence of ordinary infection signs.

CP-027Members only

Thrombocytopenia and Bleeding Precautions

These items test which routine actions to stop.

CP-104Members only

Iron Deficiency Anemia

Administration items ask what to take iron with, and the answer is orange juice while milk is the distractor.

CP-105Members only

Pernicious Anemia and Vitamin B Twelve Deficiency

The tested urgency is neurologic, so paresthesia and gait change outrank the hemoglobin in a stem.

CP-106Members only

Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation

Items describe bleeding from several unrelated sites at once in a patient with sepsis or an obstetric emergency, and the expected recognition is this syndrome rather than a local problem.

CP-107Members only

Acute Leukemia

Priority items land on fever every time, and the correct action is to report and treat rather than to observe or give an antipyretic alone.

CP-108Members only

Lymphoma

Stems give a painless node plus night sweats and weight loss and expect recognition rather than reassurance.

CP-109Members only

Blood Transfusion and Transfusion Reaction

The reaction item is an order of operations item and stopping the transfusion is always the first action, ahead of notifying the provider or taking vital signs.

CP-110Members only

Anticoagulant Therapy and Bleeding Risk

Expect a drug and test matching item and a reversal agent item.

CP-111Members only

Chemotherapy and Radiation Side Effect Management

Timing items dominate: antiemetic before treatment, mouth care before mucositis, precautions timed to the nadir.

CP-112Members only

Central Venous Access Device Care

The air embolism item asks for the position and the answer is left side with the head lowered after clamping.

Educational use. These care plans are study aids. They do not replace your course instruction, your clinical judgment, or the guidance of the provider and the facility caring for the patient.

Care plan format. Diagnosis wording, reference ranges, and documentation requirements vary by school and by facility. Follow the format your own program requires and the standards of the institution where you practice.
