Explanation:
1. DIC is not diagnosed with a radiographic examination but by serum laboratory studies.
2. Fluids need to be monitored but will not be restricted.
3. Ambulation places stress on joints and can promote bleeding. The child with DIC should be placed on bed rest.
4. In a child who has a bleeding and clotting disorder, the priority nursing intervention would be monitoring for life-threatening complications.
