Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has cirrhosis and a prothrombin time of 30 seconds. Which of the following medications should the nurse plan to administer?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Vitamin K. In cirrhosis, the liver is unable to produce clotting factors, leading to prolonged prothrombin time. Vitamin K helps in the synthesis of clotting factors, reducing prothrombin time. Heparin and Warfarin are anticoagulants, which can worsen bleeding in a client with cirrhosis. Ferrous sulfate is an iron supplement and is not indicated for prothrombin time correction in cirrhosis.
