Question 2 of 5
A client who has been receiving Urokinase (UPA) for deep vein thrombosis is noted to have dark brown urine in the urine collection bag. Which action should the nurse take immediately?

The nurse should withhold the medication and notify the physician immediately to assess for bleeding complications. Vitamin K is used for warfarin reversal, irrigation is inappropriate, and fluids won’t address the issue.
