signs of clotting and bleeding concurrently indicate:
Hemophilia
Polycythemia Vera
Dismesnated Itnravular cogultion - CORRECT ANSWER-Great job! Disseminated
intravascular coagulation (DIC) is a rare, life-threatening condition that prevents blood
from clotting normally. The blood clots reduce blood flow and can block blood from
reaching bodily organs. This increased clotting can use up the blood's platelets and
clotting factors. Fewer platelets and clotting factors available result in excessive
bleeding. Hemophilia A, also called factor VIII (FVIII) is a genetic disorder caused by
missing or defective factor VIII, a clotting protein so blood does not clot properly.
Polycythemia vera is a disorder of the bone marrow. It mainly causes too many red
blood cells to be produced.

nurse should check the pulses before notifying the physician. The presence of a pulse
will need to be given to the physician.
