A medical assistant is reviewing a patient's complete blood count (CBC) results. Which of the following platelet counts falls within the normal range for an adult?
100,000/mcL
250,000/mcL
600,000/mcL
500,000/mcL
The correct answer is 250,000/mcL. A normal platelet count in an adult typically ranges from 150,000 to 450,000 platelets per microliter (mcL) of blood. A count of 100,000/mcL is considered low (thrombocytopenia), and a count of 500,000/mcL is considered high (thrombocytosis). Platelets are essential for blood clotting.
