The blood component that will need to be replaced is Platelets.

DIC stands for disseminated intravascular coagulation, it is a disease in which the proteins in the blood that regulate clotting becomes hyperactive. It leads to clot formation in the blood vessels which may clog them to prevent flow into the body parts and cause serious damage.

When the platelets are consumed in the formation of clots their shortage may cause an unstoppable bleeding from even a small cut. You may bleed spontaneously even without an injury. Its main cause may be due to an inflammation, injury, or due to prior illness.

an emergency department nurse is interviewing a client who is presenting with signs of an ischemic stroke that began 2 hours ago
steposvetlana [31]

An emergency room nurse is speaking with a patient who is exhibiting symptoms of an ischemic stroke that started two hours ago. The client mentions having had a cholecystectomy six weeks prior and using labetalol, digoxin, and warfarin. What element puts the patient's thrombolytic therapy at risk?

What is ischemic stroke?

An ischemic stroke is the loss of brain tissue (cerebral infarction) brought on by insufficient oxygen and blood flow to the brain as a result of an arterial blockage. An artery leading to the brain can get blocked, frequently by a blood clot or a fatty buildup brought on by atherosclerosis, leading to an ischemic stroke.

In patients with ischemic stroke, thrombolytic therapy must be started within three hours. If the patient underwent surgery within the last 14 days, she is not qualified for thrombolytic therapy. Labetalol and digoxin do not preclude thrombolytic treatment.

olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

The correct answer is option C. thymus.

Lymph nodules are small groups of lymphoid tissue present in the loose under the wet epithelial membranes such as the digestive system, urinary bladder, and respiratory system.

The thymus does not contain lymph nodules like other lymphatic organs such as spleen, tonsils and lymph node. However, small lymphocytes known as thymocytes are grouped together in the cortex and epithelial reticular cells can appear like nodules in the medulla.

Thus, the correct answer is option C. thymus.
