You are caring for a patient in hypovalemic shock who will require plasma expansion. What do you suspect the physician will order?

Cryoprecipitate
Packed red blood cells
Albumin
Platelets

Explanation

Answer: C - Albumin would be given as a plasma expander. Cryoprecipitate is used with hemophilia patients who are bleeding because it is rich in clotting factors. Platelets are used on patients who have a low platelet count and packed red blood cells are given to replace erythrocytes.
