Question 1 of 5

A client has entered disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) after becoming extremely ill after surgery. Which of the following laboratory findings would the nurse expect to see with this client?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: In disseminated intravascular coagulation (DI
C), a client experiences widespread clotting throughout the body, leading to the depletion of clotting factors and platelets. A prolonged prothrombin time (PT) is a common finding in DIC. The PT measures the extrinsic pathway of the clotting cascade and reflects how quickly blood can clot. In DIC, the consumption of clotting factors results in a prolonged PT, indicating impaired clotting ability. Elevated fibrinogen levels (
Choice
A) are typically seen in the early stages of DIC due to the body's attempt to compensate for clot breakdown. Elevated platelet count (
Choice
C) is not a typical finding in DIC as platelets are consumed during the widespread clotting. A depressed d-dimer level (
Choice
D) is also not expected in DIC as d-dimer levels are elevated due to the breakdown of fibrin clots.
Therefore, the correct answer is a prolonged PT.
