The nurse is caring for a patient with a clotting disorder. Which should the nurse plan to administer?
Cryoprecipitates: Cryoprecipitates contain fibrinogen, factor VIII, von Willebrand factor, and factor XIII, and are typically used for patients with specific factor deficiencies, such as hemophilia or fibrinogen deficiency, rather than general clotting disorders.
Frozen Packed Red Blood Cells (PRBCs): PRBCs are primarily used to treat anemia and to increase oxygen-carrying capacity, not to correct clotting factor deficiencies.
Fresh frozen plasma (FFP): Fresh frozen plasma (FFP) contains clotting factors and is administered to patients with clotting disorders to help manage bleeding by replenishing these factors.
Platelets: Platelets are administered to patients with thrombocytopenia or platelet dysfunction, not to replace clotting factors as needed in general clotting disorders.
