Answer to Question 1

2

Rationale 1: This statement does not clarify understanding.
Rationale 2: This statement provides knowledge regarding the process of maintaining a balance within the body.
Rationale 3: Calling the prescriber is not the nurse's best response.
Rationale 4: Electrolytes do not restore blood coagulation.

Global Rationale: The client is asking about hemostasis, an essential mechanism protecting the body from external and internal injury. Hemostasis must maintain a delicate balance between blood fluidity and coagulation.

Answer to Question 2

3, 2, 1, 4

Rationale 1: Platelets adhere to the injury site is the third step in hemostasis.
Rationale 2: Vessel spasms in the second step in hemostasis.
Rationale 3: Vessel injury is the first step in hemostasis.
Rationale 4: Insoluble fibrin strands form and coagulate is the last step in hemostasis.

Global Rationale: Hemostasis is complex. Injury to the vessel occurs first and then the vessel spasms. Platelets then adhere to the injury site and aggregate to form the plug. Then the insoluble fibrin strands form and coagulate.
