Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a patient who is receiving heparin by continuous IV infusion. Which of the following medications should the nurse plan to administer in the event of an overdose? Which medication should the nurse administer for heparin overdose?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Protamine. Protamine is the antidote for heparin overdose. It works by binding to heparin, neutralizing its anticoagulant effects. Vitamin K (choice
A) is used to reverse the effects of warfarin, not heparin. Iron (choice
B) is used to treat iron deficiency anemia. Glucagon (choice
