Answer to Question 1

 White blood cells (WBCs) will decrease on laboratory work.
 Patient temperature will be within normal limits (WNL).
 Wound will show signs of healing, and purulent drainage will cease.
 Pain in leg will decrease.
 Erythrocyte sedimentation rate will decrease.
 Wound cultures will come back negative for organism growth.

Answer to Question 2

 The physician should be notified, and the infusion should be stopped or reduced and a follow-up
aPTT performed. The aPTT should be 1.5 to 2.5 times the control value.
 Monitor M.M. for signs of bleeding. Send a stool sample to the laboratory for testing for occult
blood.
 Monitor closely for developing disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) because this
complication is a possibility.
