An adult has a coagulation time of 20 minutes. The nurse should observe the client for which of the following?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The normal clotting time is 9 to 12 minutes. A prolonged clotting time suggests a bleeding tendency, so the client should be observed for signs of bleeding, such as ecchymotic areas. Blood clots would occur with a shorter clotting time. Jaundice is related to liver damage or red blood cell breakdown. Infection is associated with low white blood cell counts.
