Question 1 of 5
A nurse is teaching a newly licensed nurse about heparin-induced thrombocytopenia. Which of the following risk factors for this disorder should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale:
Rationale: Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is a rare but serious complication of heparin therapy, causing a drop in platelet count. The correct answer is C because heparin therapy for deep-vein thrombosis is a known risk factor for HIT. Systemic lupus erythematosus (choice
A) is associated with other complications but not specifically HIT. Placental abruption (choice
B) is a condition related to pregnancy complications. Warfarin therapy for atrial fibrillation (choice
D) is not a risk factor for HIT.
Therefore, the nurse should focus on heparin therapy as a significant risk factor in HIT education.
