Smoking has been linked to a variety of health issues, including decreased fertility in both men and women. It can cause damage to sperm DNA and reduce sperm motility, which can make it more difficult for sperm to reach and fertilize an egg. Therefore, smoking can contribute to infertility issues. It's important for the man to quit smoking or at least reduce his cigarette consumption to increase his chances of conception with his wife.

In DIC, there is widespread clotting that can lead to depletion of clotting factors and platelets, resulting in bleeding. The priority in the care of DIC is to correct the underlying cause and to replace lost blood products to prevent hypovolemia and hemorrhage. Therefore, the nurse should anticipate an order for the administration of blood products such as packed red blood cells, fresh frozen plasma, and platelets. Administration of steroids may also be ordered to reduce inflammation and stabilize cell membranes. Restriction of intravascular fluids may be necessary to prevent further bleeding, but it is not the first priority. Invasive hemodynamic monitoring may be used to assess the client's fluid and electrolyte status, but it is not typically the first intervention.
