Question 4 of 4
The nurse is caring for a patient who is taking warfarin. The nurse notes the presence of gross hematuria and large areas of bruising on the patient's body. The nurse notifies the health care prescriber and anticipates what medication will be ordered?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Warfarin is an anticoagulant that inhibits vitamin K-dependent clotting factors, and excessive anticoagulation can cause bleeding (e.g., hematuria, bruising). Phytonadione (Vitamin K, Choice C) reverses warfarin's effects by restoring clotting factor synthesis, making it the anticipated treatment. Heparin sulfate (A) is another anticoagulant and would worsen bleeding. Protamine sulfate (B) reverses heparin, not warfarin. Potassium supplements (D) are unrelated to anticoagulation reversal.
