Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Administering intramuscular meperidine (Demerol) for pain can worsen coagulation abnormalities and increase the risk of bleeding in patients with disseminated intravascular coagulation. Strict bedrest may be necessary to prevent further injury or bleeding, and a diet high in fat and sodium may be inappropriate for other health reasons but would not likely cause acute complications in this patient. Allowing a family member with a respiratory infection to visit may increase the patient's risk of infection but is not directly related to acute complications of disseminated intravascular coagulation.
