A patient with a newly diagnosed bleeding disorder has prolonged bleeding after venepuncture. Which finding should the nurse report first?
Correct answer: B. New blood in the urine
- A. A small bruise at the venepuncture site
- B. New blood in the urine
- C. Mild tiredness after walking
- D. Slight dryness of the skin
Explanation
New blood in the urine may indicate internal or urinary tract bleeding and requires prompt assessment and reporting. A small bruise can occur with a bleeding disorder, but it is usually less urgent than evidence of bleeding from an internal site.
