Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is receiving heparin therapy. If the client requires a reversal of the effects of heparin, which of the following medications should the nurse expect the provider to prescribe?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Protamine. Protamine is the antidote for heparin as it works by forming a complex with heparin, neutralizing its anticoagulant effects. Atropine (
A) is used for bradycardia, not for heparin reversal. Vitamin K (
B) is used to reverse the effects of warfarin, a different anticoagulant. Vitamin B12 (
C) is not used for heparin reversal.
Therefore, the correct choice is Protamine (
D) for reversing heparin's effects.
