Question

A primigravid client in early labor with abruptio placentae develops disseminated intravascular coagulation (dic). which agent should the nurse expect the health care provider (hcp) to prescribe?

Answer 1

The agent would prescribe the fresh-frozen platelets. This is a blood produce made from the liquid share of entire blood. It is used to treat circumstances in which there are low blood coagulation factors (INR>1.5) or small levels of other blood proteins.
