Ans: C
Feedback:
Most clients with von Willebrand disease, especially less serious variants, require only monitoring and aspirin avoidance. It is likely unnecessary for the client to avoid sports. Drugs, clotting factors, and transfusions are likely not required, given the moderate bleeding that the client has experienced to this point.
