and then rapid deterioration. An epidural hematoma is
usually caused by arterial bleeding.
A patient is admitted to the ICU after sustaining a concussion
and blunt abdominal trauma to the right upper quadrant in a
domestic dispute. The patient's vital signs are BP 145/86 mm
Hg, pulse 86 beats/min, respiration 15 breaths/min, and
temperature 98.8° F. The nurse is monitoring the patient's
bowel sounds, abdominal tenderness, and abdominal girth
frequently. Which of the following laboratory parameters is
especially important for the nurse to closely monitor for
bleeding in this patient?
A.
