Thirty questions on the complete blood count: what is on the panel and what the differential adds, each white cell line with its range and what raises and lowers it, calculating an absolute neutrophil count and grading neutropenia, platelets and mean platelet volume, hemoglobin against hematocrit, the four red cell indices and their formulas, the whole shape-and-inclusion vocabulary from acanthocyte to Heinz body, and the microcytic, normocytic and macrocytic anemia patterns with their iron studies. Unlike Lectures 1 to 3, this one does ask you to calculate — objective (d) is an arithmetic objective. A great deal of this lecture exists only inside a picture: the neutropenia severity table, the schistocyte types, the iron comparison table, the anemia algorithm, the index formulas and the fishbone diagram are all figures with no text version in the deck. Those questions are marked as image-only in their citation. Where the deck gives a reference range two different ways — lymphocytes, platelets and red cell distribution width all appear twice with different numbers — no question is built on the disputed figure. The 24 August lecture explains why that happens: Professor Shah teaches reference ranges as approximate and lab-dependent on purpose — “it doesn’t matter what the range is, it just matters what the range is for where you’re working” — so the disagreement is her position rather than a mistake. Learn the approximate figure and the direction of abnormality. The study guide sets every version side by side. Every question cites its slide.
