Impaired skin integrity and skin manifestations are common in persons with chronic kidney disease. Pale skin and subcutaneous bruising are often present as a result of:
A) Thrombocytopenia
B) Anticoagulant therapy
C) Decreased vascular volume
D) Impaired platelet function
Ans: D
Feedback:
Bruising and pale skin are present with chronic kidney disease because platelet function is impaired. Adequate platelets are available, but the function is abnormal. Renal clients do not routinely receive anticoagulant therapy, since they already have bleeding tendencies. Increased vascular volume is associated with renal disease.
