Answer to Question 1

A
Other medications may be prescribed for the client in preparation for surgery. Before surgery the nurse would be responsible for the administration of the preoperative medications as ordered.

Answer to Question 2

A
Medical management consists of administration of clotting factors. Nursing care centers on teaching the client and family how to manage the condition (i.e., how to administer clotting factors prophylactically and if injury occurs), relieving pain when present, and teaching ways to prevent injury.
