Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has hemophilia A and hemarthrosis of the left knee. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Obtain a stool specimen. This is important to assess for internal bleeding due to hemarthrosis in a client with hemophilia A. Stool can indicate gastrointestinal bleeding, a potential complication. Administering low dose aspirin (choice
A) is contraindicated in hemophilia due to its antiplatelet effects. Autologous blood transfusion (choice
B) is not indicated for hemarthrosis and may not be necessary at this point. Applying heat to the knee (choice
D) can potentially worsen bleeding.
Therefore, obtaining a stool specimen (choice
C) is the most appropriate action to assess for internal bleeding and guide further interventions.
