Complete Blood Count
DATE: August 2, 2013
Blood tests are one of the most commonly used diagnostic tests and can provide
valuable information about the hematologic system and many other body systems.
Specimens of venous blood are taken for a complete blood count (CBC), which includes
hemoglobin and hematocrit measurements, erythrocyte (RBC) count and leukocyte
(WBC) count. The complete blood count is a basic screening test and one of the most
frequently ordered blood tests.

URINALYSIS
A urinalysis is one of the least expensive, yet very useful diagnostic tests. This analysis
is used to detect the presence of any harmful chemical of other unexpected substances
in the urine. For example, the urine test can detect substances such as glucose

DISCHARGE PLAN
Clients/Patients who have undergone Excision of Sebaceous Cyst are educated to:
M- Medications
Medications that are prescribed by the doctors should be strictly follow in terms of time,
dosage and frequency to aid in returning the patients optimum health level.
E- Exercise
Patient should avoid lifting heavy things with hands until 4-6 weeks post-op, and should
avoid any pressure to the incision site.
T- Treatment
Treatment after discharge is anticipated for patients and significant others who are post
op to completely contribute in constant management.
H- Health Teachings
Teaching patient to keep incision site clean and dry helps to avoid any complications.
Loose clothes should be wear since this will help patient to be more comfortable and
cause less irritation around incision site. Instruct not to use oils, powders, or lotions on
the incision site. Following removal of the dressing, the area should be kept clean. A
bandage may be reapplied if desired.
O- OPD
Out Patients are encourage to have follow up check-up to their doctors to evaluate the
condition of the site and for further interventions required.
D- Diet
Diet is also vital for those who have undergone excision of sebaceous mass. For our
patient, we instructed her to increase consumption of healthy oils to promote healthy
skin and reduce sebum stagnation in the hair shafts. Foods which contain healthy oils
are nuts and seeds, avocadoes and fish. For healthier skin, increase fruits and
vegetables in the diet.
