Question 5 of 5
A nurse in a provider's office is caring for a client who is at 8 weeks of gestation and asks about increased risk for blood clots. Which of the following statements should the nurse make?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Increased blood plasma volume and elevated clotting factors during pregnancy contribute to a hypercoagulable state, increasing thrombosis risk. Procoagulant factors increase, not decrease, and natural anticoagulants decrease. Platelet counts may slightly decrease due to hemodilution.
