Rationale 5: This is an indication of a preterm infant.
Global Rationale:

Answer to Question 2

4
Rationale 1: The child has adequate platelets, and administration of platelets will not promote clotting.
Rationale 2: Whole blood will increase the blood volume without promoting clotting.
Rationale 3: A unit of packed cells will provide RBCs but not the factor needed to clot.
Rationale 4: Factors are located in the plasma. Fresh or fresh frozen plasma will provide the best source of factor available.
