Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has thrombophlebitis and is receiving a continuous heparin infusion. Which of the following medications should the nurse have available to reverse heparin's effects?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Protamine sulfate. Protamine sulfate is used to reverse the effects of heparin by binding to it and forming a stable complex, thereby neutralizing heparin's anticoagulant activity. This is important in cases of excessive bleeding or when the client needs immediate reversal of heparin's effects. Vitamin K (choice
A) is used to reverse the effects of warfarin, not heparin. Acetylcysteine (choice
B) is a mucolytic agent used to treat respiratory conditions. Deferasirox (choice
C) is a chelating agent used to treat iron overload.
