Coagulation

Jessie was a typical 2-year-old who liked to try and spread his wings. He would run and fall throughout the house. On several occasions, with minor falls, a bruise would develop on his legs or arms. Jessie’s parent would often worry about being reported for child abuse because of the easy bruising that Jessie experienced.

When Jessie was four, he accidentally ran into a small tree, hitting his nose. The nose bled excessively. Jessie’s mother tried to stop the bleeding, first with paper towels, which Jessie soaked through quickly, and then with a cold washcloth. Nothing seemed to help. Nervous about the amount of blood that Jessie was losing, his parents rushed him to the emergency room.

The emergency doctor ordered some blood work that included a Prothrombin Time (PT)and a Thromboplastin Time (PTT) test for clotting deficiencies. The site of the venipuncture for the blood draw, also took some time to stop bleeding.

An hour after the blood draw, the physician returned to the ER room to discuss the test results. Jessie’s PT results were normal but his PTT results were abnormal with an extended clotting time. The PTT clotting time was much longer than normal indicating the Jessie may lack of or decreased levels of a clotting factor.

Answer the following questions and save your responses in a Microsoft Word document. Provide a scholarly resource in APA format to support your answers.

Discuss which clotting factors the PT and PTT test evaluate and whether each test measures the intrinsic or the extrinsic pathways.

Describe the common coagulation pathway.

Based on Jessie’s test, which factor deficiency do you believe he has and why?

Identify each of the abnormal laboratory findings in the above results. Specify how they differ from a normal range and identify what condition each abnormality indicates.

A nurse is taking care of an 85-year-old woman in a hospital-based skilled nursing facility. In the report, the nurse is told the patient has not been breathing well for the past 2 days. She has been lethargic, her skin is warm and dry, and she has a decreased urine output.

Identify each of the abnormal laboratory findings in the above results. Specify how they differ from a normal range and identify what condition each abnormality indicates.
What specific electrolyte disturbance does the patient have?

What clinical manifestations would the nurse expect to see with this electrolyte abnormality presented above?

If the patient had an increase in her potassium level, for what clinical manifestations would the nurse monitor?

What blood gas abnormality is seen in this patient? Discuss the rationale for your answer.
What are the three major mechanisms of pH regulation?

While APA style is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and documentation of sources should be presented using APA formatting guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.

Explain why is the family going to Florida.

What are some of the similarities and differences between the two “mothers?”

Explain what the Misfit means by, “Jesus thrown everything off balance?”

Does the grandmother experience a “death bed conversion?” If so, would it be valid to allow her to have salvation at the last minute when she has not apparently lived a “good life” until her last moments (e.g. her racism, her arrogance, etc.)? How late is too late when speaking of salvation?

So why does he shoot the grandmother?

What does the Misfit mean when he says “She would have been a good woman if someone had been there to shoot her every minute of her life.”?

Could the Misfit be seen metaphorically as an avenging angel sent by God to shake people up who think they are good, that they understand the purpose of life, with the threat of, and maybe even literally, losing their lives?
