MedSurg II Hematologic Disorders Compass Cards + Audio Companion

Review hematologic patterns in focused visual pages and return to the concepts in a listening format. The Basecamp Compass Hematologic Disorders Compass Cards + Audio Companion pairs 18 visual cards with the Audio Companion for nursing students who want more than one way to revisit the topic.

Each card follows a consistent six-part structure: Pattern, Recognize, Check and Connect, Priority, Escalate and Remember. Use that structure to connect what may be happening with the findings you notice, the assessment or testing that helps clarify the situation, and the nursing priorities that follow.

The collection covers CBC patterns, anemia by cell size, iron deficiency, vitamin B12 versus folate deficiency, aplastic anemia, hemolysis, vaso-occlusive crisis and acute chest syndrome. Continue through polycythemia, thrombocytopenia, ITP versus HIT, TTP, hemophilia versus von Willebrand disease, DIC, blood products and suspected transfusion reactions. The final cards bring together neutropenia and hematologic cancers.

Choose a card for a short review, compare related cards to separate overlapping findings, or explain the priority aloud before checking the page. Use the Audio Companion for another pass through the subject during a listening session. The cards encourage recognition and escalation while reminding you that laboratory values and symptoms need clinical context.

Includes the Compass Cards PDF and Audio Companion. The Trail Guide, Retrieval Maps and Campfire Challenges are available together in the Hematologic Disorders Trail Kit. Use these resources alongside your nursing course materials and instructor guidance.
