The nurse caring for a client with severe sepsis suspects the client may be developing disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). Which of the following signs and symptoms would support the diagnosis of DIC?

A. Sudden onset of chest pain and copious sputum may indicate a pulmonary embolism or pneumonia, not specifically DIC. B. Foul smelling, concentrated urine suggests a urinary tract infection, not DIC. C. Oozing blood from IV sites is a classic sign of DIC due to widespread clotting factor consumption leading to bleeding tendencies. D. A reddened, inflamed central line site indicates local infection or phlebitis, not DIC.
