Answer:
C) Platelets
Explanation:
Hemophilia is caused by a lack of clotting factors. Because platelets (or lack thereof) are what is responsible for how the blood clots, it can be reasonably inferred that the answer is C.
(Platelets secrete procoagualants, which are clotting factors. If there is a genetic issue with how these clotting factors work, then the platelets will not be useful.)
It can be expected that there
will be closure of the patent ductus arteriosus for this is the effect of
indomethacin. The adverse effect would include platelet dysfunction, decrease
gasto-intestinal motility and an increase in necrotizing enterocolitis. With this,
the nurse should anticipate the possible outcomes where there will be increase
bleeding time and decrease gastro-intestinal function after giving
indomethacin.
