The correct answer is option D, that is, whole blood with an anticoagulant added.  

The PCV or the packed cell volume determines the proportion of red blood cells present in the whole blood. It is one of the various tests, which may be used to diagnose or monitor a condition known as anemia. The test may also be used to diagnose or monitor a rare kind of blood cancer called polycythemia.  

The PCV can be determined by centrifuging heparinized blood in a capillary tube at 10000 RPM for 5 minutes. This distinguishes the blood into layers. The volume of the packed RBCs divided by the total volume of the blood sample provides the PCV.

Hypotonic solutions are those with less solute (again read as higher water potential). Isotonic solutions have equal (iso-) concentrations of substances. Water potentials are thus equal, although there will still be equal amounts of water movement in and out of the cell, the net flow is zero.

disa [49]
The assessment activity that enabled the nurse to derive to the conclusion of "related to" factor is THE USE OF ATROPINE MOLECULE.

Atropine injection is used before anesthesia. This decreases the mucus secretion and keeps the heartbeat normal during anesthesia and surgery. In case of any allergic reaction, atropine sulfate should not be administered in the patient.
