Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Desmopressin is the primary treatment of choice for vWD and can be administered orally,nasally,and intravenously.This medication promotes the release of factor VIII and vWf from storage.Cryoprecipitate may be used; however,because of the risk of possible donor viruses,other modalities are considered safer.Treatment with plasma products such as factor VIII and vWf is an acceptable option for this client.Because of the repeated exposure to donor blood products and possible viruses,this modality is not the initial treatment of choice.Although the administration of the prostaglandin,Hemabate,is known to promote contraction of the uterus during PPH,it is not effective for the client who has a bleeding disorder.
