Question 1 of 5

A nurse is assessing a client who is receiving heparin via continuous IV. The client has an aPTT of 90 seconds. The nurse should monitor the client for which of the following changes in their vital signs?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Increased pulse rate. Heparin is an anticoagulant that prolongs the activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT). With a high aPTT of 90 seconds, the client is at risk for bleeding due to excessive anticoagulation. An increased pulse rate can be an early sign of internal bleeding or hemorrhage, which is a potential complication of heparin therapy. Monitoring the pulse rate is crucial to detect early signs of bleeding. Increased blood pressure, decreased temperature, and decreased respiratory rate are not typically associated with heparin therapy or aPTT levels.
