Which intervention would the nurse implement for the patient diagnosed with disseminated intravascular coagulation (dic)?
a. administer oral anticoagulants.
b. maintain urine output at 20 ml per hour.
c. prepare the patient for plasmapheresis.
d. administer fresh frozen plasma?
It is between C) and D), but the best answer would be: C) prepare the patient for plasmapheresis. Because that's the only true way to filter out the tiny clots from the blood, without leading to more hemorrhage (as with anticoagulants).
