Answer to Question 1



Answer to Question 2

While in the MICU, he should be protected from anything that might cause bruising or bleeding, such
as excessive venipuncture and injections. He should use a soft-bristled toothbrush and an electric
shaver, not a razor, to avoid the potential for cuts. He should ask for assistance with ambulation, in
case he is light-headed during activity, and fall-prevention precautions should be initiated.

Physical stress and inflammation caused by the severe bleeding and tissue hypoxia can increase the
neutrophil count.
