Does anyone know where or who I could ask so that I can get this done. I am a nursing student and am in need of this by Monday or Tuesday at the latest. Also, I am looking for some fantastic pictures on this subject. Even if I have to download the pics or anything that has to do with this subject. Thank You.

I would go to a local b&n, or booksamillion get a cup of coffee/tea then go over to the nursing study guides area where you will find plenty of care plans to choose from, or you can go to your college library. Actually I think I would go to your college library first and see if you can either photo copy (discreetly) or check out the care plan book. Your nursing textbook should be your first choice, after reading it I would try to come up with NCP on your own. You will learn critical thinking skills this way.

Cant really think of good pictures for this
DIC for RN’s…that’s tough.
In case you can’t find stuff- get a picture of schistocytes (I gotta warn you my spelling is lousy- which is why I and others like me write illegibly I suspect) the sheared red blood cells, which is a requirement for DIC, as are a prolonged PT and PTT.
You could also find stuff on clots and bleeding- as DIC is characterized by both. Get a picture of a central line and some blood oozing from around it, as patients with DIC are often in the unit, and if they aren’t already, the will be soon…and a picture of a clot around a central line (inside the vein) or a DVT- deep venous thrombosis.
I’m not a nurse, so unfortunately I have no idea what your care plan would be- the treatment is mostly “supportive”: transfusions of blood, preventing DVT’s, you may need to actually GIVE heparin…the biggest thing is to treat the SOURCE of the DIC.
I’d wanna be called by you if the patient has suddenly unstable vitals, a drop in HCT or bleeding, drop in renal function, etc…
Hope this helps- we need good nurses; they’re the real caregivers to patients!
Get bloddproducts asap and infues rapidly, Need to give minerals also! As for pictures, just find some of someone bleeding to death in the OR after lenghty abdominal trauma surgery. Platelets, Platelets, Platelets
