Question 1 of 5
The nurse is reviewing laboratory values for a patient with thrombocytopenia associated with ITP. Which result would concern the nurse the most?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: A platelet count of 50,000/mm³ is significantly low, increasing bleeding risk, which is the primary concern in ITP. RBC, hemoglobin, and WBC values are within normal limits.
