Question 1 of 5
A client is on a blood thinner medication and requires weekly INR values. The nurse expects to see an INR of 2-2.5 times the normal range so she would anticipate what value:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: 2.0-3.0. An INR value of 2-2.5 times the normal range is considered therapeutic for a client on a blood thinner medication. This range ensures that the blood is appropriately thinned to prevent clot formation while minimizing the risk of bleeding. A value below 1.0 (choice
A) would indicate insufficient anticoagulation, increasing the risk of clot formation. A range of 1.0-2.0 (choice
B) is below the desired therapeutic range for a client on blood thinners. A value above 3.0 (choice
C) would indicate excessive anticoagulation, increasing the risk of bleeding complications.
Therefore, choice D (2.0-3.0) is the most appropriate range for the client's INR values to ensure optimal therapeutic effects with minimal risks.
