A leukemia patient may suffer from low blood platelet count. What might occur because of the lack of platelets in the patient's
blood?. A) The patient may develop lesions in the vein and artery walls where large clots will obstruct blood flow.. B) The patient may feel excessively tired because the blood cannot carry enough oxygen.. C) The patient may have internal bleeding and cuts may not stop bleeding.. D) The patient may suffer from many infections which could affect heart rate and blood pressure..
Answer:C) The patient may have internal bleeding and cuts may not stop bleeding.
Explanation:
Platelets are cells that form scabs to help stop the bleeding of wounds. When you have low platelets, you can have fewer scabs at a time, so wounds will bleed more. If you have dangerously low platelets, any wound you have will not close and you will not stop bleeding without outside help.
Without a professional to help you develop the correct techniques, you will most likely hurt yourself. You may not even get the right results if you don't learn how to properly use the equipment.
