How Should Nurses Manage Internal Hemorrhage?

Managing internal hemorrhage requires a different approach since the bleeding is not visible. Nurses should:
Recognize signs and symptoms such as hypotension, tachycardia, abdominal pain, or swelling.
Initiate intravenous access for fluid administration and blood transfusions.
Prepare the patient for diagnostic procedures like imaging to determine the source of bleeding.
Collaborate with the healthcare team for potential surgical intervention.
