A nurse is collecting data from a male client who has been exposed to syphilis and has a genital chancre. Which of the following prescriptions should the nurse anticipate when notifying the provider of these findings?

A. Prolonged bleeding or easy bruising is a characteristic feature of hemophilia, a genetic
disorder characterized by deficient or defective blood clotting proteins, leading to impaired blood clotting and prolonged bleeding after injury or trauma.
B. Excessive blood clotting is not a characteristic feature of hemophilia; rather, it is the opposite.
Hemophilia is characterized by a deficiency in clotting factors, which results in impaired clot formation.
C. Hemophilia does not typically result in increased platelet count. Platelets are involved in the initial stages of blood clotting, but hemophilia primarily affects clotting factor proteins.
D. Delayed wound healing is not a characteristic feature of hemophilia. Hemophilia primarily affects blood clotting, leading to prolonged bleeding, but it does not directly affect wound
healing processes.

A. Remove restrictive clothing or objects from the patient: This helps to promote comfort and improve circulation.
B. Administer IV Morphine per MD order: Morphine is a common medication used to manage severe pain associated with sickle cell crisis.
C. Administer oxygen per MD order: Oxygen may be needed to improve oxygen saturation and support respiratory function, especially if the patient is hypoxic.
D. Place on NPO: This is appropriate in case the patient needs any procedures or interventions that require fasting.
E. Start intravenous fluids per MD order: Intravenous fluids help to hydrate the patient and improve blood flow, which can help alleviate symptoms of sickle cell crisis.
F. Keep patient on bed rest: Bed rest is important to conserve energy and minimize the risk of further complications during a sickle cell crisis.
