Tam, a college student, accidentally drops a pair of scissors on his foot one night, and the sharp edge cuts his foot. The cut does not stop bleeding, and Tam realizes he had forgotten to take his pills that morning. He goes to the campus emergency center and tells a nurse what had happened. What would a nurse most likely do to stop the bleeding quickly and effectively? apply a hemostatic drug directly on the cut so that clotting factors from the drug help the blood to clot apply clopidogrel directly on the cut so that platelet aggregation is inhibited and blood is able to come together in a clot administer a shot of a hemostatic drug in the arm so that the liver produces fewer clotting factors administer a shot of heparin deep into a vein in order to block clotting factor X and stop heavy blood flow to the foot

What a nurse should do to stop the bleeding quickly and effectively is apply a hemostatic drug directly on the cut so that clotting factors from the drug help the blood to clot.

Explanation:

A haemostatic drug is an active agent that promotes the process of haemostasis, which involves stopping active bleeding or haemorrhage, helping the blood to clot.

Wounds are characterized by the rupture of blood vessels of different sizes, which causes bleeding. Although the body produces substances to stop the bleeding, some wounds can cause abundant bleeding that requires the use of hemostatic drugs, locally or administered orally or parenterally.

An example of a local haemostatic drug is Kaolin, a product that is used in local dressings and helps to activate coagulation and stop bleeding.

The other options are not correct in the treatment of Tam because

breathe deeply from your lower lungs - imagine a rubber ring around your waist (your diaphragm)

breathe in and try to push the ring outwards.

breathe in through your nose and out through your nose and mouth.
