| Diagnosis | ||
| . Differential diagnosis-1. Von Willebrand Disease (D68.0): This is an inherit condition that produces a deficient clotting protein. Signs and symptoms of the disease include bleeding tendencies such as easy bruising, nosebleeds, heavy menstrual periods in females and other (SMITH, 2017). In this case frequent nose bleeds and the family history suggests this diagnosis.1. Mild hemophilia A (D68.311): This condition is also characterized by bleeding tendencies and is also an inherited autosomal disease (Karaman et al., 2015).1. Coagulation defect, unspecified (D68.9): Coagulation defects can be caused by genetics or by conditions such as vitamin K deficiency or liver problems (Karaman et al., 2015). Because this patient exhibits mild symptoms it’s important to include a more general differential diagnosis to determine the cause of the symptoms. Primary Diagnosis: . Von Willebrand Disease D68.0 | ||
| PLAN including education | ||
| · Referral issued to hematologist to be seen as soon as possible Education· Educated about diagnosis. This condition affects primarily boys and although sometimes is asymptomatic typical presentation includes bleeding from mucosa and labs showing elevated PT (SMITH, 2017).· Explain that having this condition predispose the patient to bleeding that can be harder to control. It’s important to wear a medical alert bracelet and inform all healthcare providers of this diagnosis prior to any surgical or dental procedures· Hematologist must be seen for further testing to determine specific types of the disease and for recommendation of appropriate medical treatment if needed· When experiencing a nose bleed tilt head slightly forward and provide pressure to the nostril. If bleeding is not controlled seek emergency treatment· Use helmets and protective equipment to avoid injuries that can produce bleeding.· Use a soft toothbrush to avoid gum bleedings References: Karaman, K., Akbayram, S., Garipardıç, M., & Öner, A.
