Question

Which of the following clients will have the most efficient adaptation?

a) A client who has a ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm
b) A client in a motor vehicle accident who hemorrhages into his abdomen
c) A client who is vomiting blood from ruptured esophageal varices
d) A client who has been noticing small amounts of blood in his stool over the past week

Answer 1

d) A client who has been noticing small amounts of blood in his stool over the past week .

Step-by-step explanation:

Most efficient adaptation occurs in cases where changes occur gradually rather than suddenly.

As in the above scenario ,the client who has been noticing small amounts of blood in his stool with a slow gastrointestinal bleed will adapt better.

While in all the other options, the client is presenting with rapid blood loss.
