NSG 210 Test 3 Study Guide: Clotting and
Mobility (without medications) Exam
Questions With Verified Answers.


Clots - answer✔✔made up of platelets, RBC, and fibrin
-formation mediated by 30 proteins (clotting factors) - made by liver

intrinsic pathway - answer✔✔less protective and more reactive; internal problem
-impaired blood flow, excessive substances that promote clotting

extrinsic pathway - answer✔✔outside the bloodstream
-happens with trauma

what is a nursing consideration for those at risk for bleeding? - answer✔✔2 IVs at least 20 G

temporary platelet seal - answer✔✔platelets are activated when injury exposes collagen and
VonWillebrand factor to the blood
-these 2 factors draw platelets to injury site --> platelets activated
-releasing prothrombotic molecules which cause platelet aggregation --> clot grows rapidly
-activated platelets trigger the cascade and form thrombin and fibrin

tissue factor - answer✔✔exposed with injury to vessels and also triggers the coagulation cascade
-leading to fibrin and clot formation

coagulation panel - answer✔✔-prothrombin time (PT)
-international normalized ratio (INR)
-platelets
-activated partial prothrombin time (aPTT)
-D-Dimer
-H/H

prothrombin time (PT) - answer✔✔time it takes for blood to clot
-11 - 15 seconds
-increase for someone on anticoagulants

international normalized ration (INR) - answer✔✔ratio of clotting time
-0.8 - 1.5 is normal
-2.5 - 3.5 is the therapeutic level (someone on anticoagulants)
- >3 means blood is not clotting fast enough (stop/decrease anticoagulants)
-increase heparin to increase levels

platelets - answer✔✔come from bone marrow
-clump together at bleeding site to form a clot
-150,000 - 400,000
- <25,000 is critical - primary hemostasis
-activated by *collagen*

activated partial prothrombin time (aPTT) - answer✔✔time it takes for blood to clot
-20 - 40 seconds
-increase for someone on anticoagulants
-used to monitor effect of heparin

D-Dimer - answer✔✔<0.5
-high level means could be a clot
-pregnancy can cause increased levels

Hgb - answer✔✔12-15

Hct - answer✔✔35-45

clotting cascade - answer✔✔I - fibrin
II - thrombin
III - tissue factor: comes from injured endothelial cells

clotting assessment - answer✔✔-age and sex
-description of bleeding episode (epistaxis, menorrhagia, or hematomas)

, ©THEBRIGHTSTARS 2024
-nutritional info, alcohol use, liver/kidney disease, recent illness or infection
-family history: hemophilias, von Willebrand disease

what drugs cause coagulation inhibition? - answer✔✔lovenox, heparin, Eliquis

what drugs cause collagen degradation? - answer✔✔corticosteroids

what drugs cause platelet function inhibition? - answer✔✔aspirin, Plavix, fish oil, SSRIs

what drugs cause thrombocytopenia? - answer✔✔alcohol, antibiotics, Tegretol

physical examination of clotting - answer✔✔-hemarthroses, muscle hemorrhages, retroperitoneal
bleeding
-petechiae, purpura, ecchymosis, epistaxis, gingival bleeding, gastrointestinal or genitourinary
bleeding
-hepatomegaly

lab evaluation of clotting - answer✔✔-CBC, prothrombin time (PT), partial thromboplastin time
(PTT), platelets

deep vein thrombosis (DVT) - answer✔✔thrombus occluding a vein, potential to detach and
embolize to the lungs

causes of DVT - answer✔✔-hypercoagulability (from cancer, blood dyscrasias, hormonal
contraceptives)
-injury to the venous wall (varicose veins, pregnancy, HF, prolonged bed rest)

assessment findings for DVT - answer✔✔-deep vein thrombophlebitis
-superficial vein thrombophlebitis

deep vein thrombophlebitis signs and symptoms - answer✔✔-cramping calf pain (may be
painless)
-edema
-tenderness to the touch

superficial vein thrombophlebitis signs and symptoms - answer✔✔-redness along the vein
-warmth and tenderness along the vein

DVT at risk - answer✔✔-sedentary
-obese
-post-op
