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.

A client who was bitten by a wild animal is admitted to an acute care facility for treatment of rabies. which type of isolation
mojhsa [17]

Th client requires Strict Isolation.

<h3>What is meant by Isolation?</h3>

Isolation is one of numerous strategies that can be used in healthcare institutions to execute infection control, which aims to limit the spread of contagious diseases from one patient to another, to staff members and visitors, or from outsiders to a specific patient (reverse isolation).

There are different types of isolation, some of which modify contact protocols and others in which the patient is kept isolated from everyone else. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) developed a system in which different levels of patient isolation include taking one or more explicitly defined "precautions," which are then periodically reviewed.

When a patient is known to have a contagious (transmittable from person to person) viral or bacterial infection, isolation is most frequently used.
