You are sent to the medical ICU to help out because there were
several sick calls. You are instructed by the charge nurse to take
vital signs on all of the clients in the 12-bed unit. You are just
completing your rounds when a call bell goes off in room three. The
client in room three is recovering from septic shock but has been
stable for the past 48 hours. The client is awake and requesting
ice chips. As you lean over to grab his pitcher, you notice blood
oozing from two IV sites on his left arm. The Foley catheter has
tea-colored urine, and the client’s central line in his chest has
blood oozing from the site.
Question # 1: What in the data collection should be reported to
the RN immediately? Why? (5-10 sentences)
Question # 2: What items in the client’s history are risk
factors for DIC? (2-3 sentences)
