A nurse is caring for a patient who has hemophilia. the patient
reports pain and swelling in a joint following an injury. which of
the following actions should the nurse take?
prepare for replacement of missing clotting factors
-hemophilia is a hereditary bleeding disorder in which blood
clots slowly and abnormal bleeding occurs
-caused by a deficiency in most common clotting factor, factor
VIII (hemophilia A)
-aggressive factor replacement is initiated to prevent
hemarthrosis that can result in long-term loss of range of
motion in repeatedly affected joints
-coagulation tests that measure platelet function, such as
bleeding time, are used to Dx, not treat, hemophilia
,-aspirin and other NSAID's, and some herbal supplements
should be avoided b/c they interfere w/ clotting function
-affected joint should be elevated to allow blood to drain away
from pt
A nurse is completing a medication history for a patient who

-antioxidants: substances naturally occurring in fruits and
veggies, as well as in nuts, grains, and some meat, poultry, and
fish
-beta-carotene, vitamin A, C, E, and selenium are some of most

-can slow/prevent development of cancer
, -beta-carotene: precursor to vitamin A, functions as fat-soluble
antioxidant which protects body from deleterious free-radical
reactions
A nurse is reviewing a patient's repeat lab results for hours after
administering fresh frozen plasma. Which of the following lab
results for the nurse review?
prothrombin time (PT_
-FFP is plasma rich in clotting factors and is administered to
treat acute clotting disorders
-desired effect: decrease in PT
-review WBC's if there's possible infection
-review platelet count following admin of platelets
-review HCT following admin of packed RBC's
A nurse is assessing a patient who has right-sided heart failure.
Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
