I am a nurse from Zimbabwe and am getting ready to take the CGFNS test in order to get my nursing license in Amerika. On the test prevue, I am being asked this strenge kwestion about the magnetic fields that blood produces as it coagulates. The question is: calculate the intensty of the magnetic field in milliteslas that 50 grams of blood produces if it coagulates at an even rate for a duration of 10 minutes before it hardens.

I really hate to say this, but people's lives are in nurses' hands.

This really has not much to do with peer reviewed clinical medicine, at least not on the nursing level. This sounds like an alternate medicine concept, which I don't understand being on a nursing test. MRI, vitamin k, heparin, leeches..these I understand , but not this. I agree that this might have to go to physics for the answer, but what you would do with that answer. If I have DIC developing, I would really want you to think of something FAST, that has nothing to do with magnets.

What a bizarre question. I have heard of magnetic fields affecting blood coagulation, but haven't heard of coagulating blood creating a magnetic field.

This question has absolutely nothing to do with clinical medicine. It does however have to do with magnetic fields created by chelated iron (hemaglobin). I would ask this question in the Physics answer section... you are much more likely to get a useful answer there. Good Luck!

FIND U A MED TECH AND ASK THEM
