Question 1 of 5
A patient diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis asks the nurse, "How does this blood thinner heparin work?" Which response is most accurate?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Heparin does not thin the blood; instead, it prevents new clots from forming and existing clots from growing larger. It does this by increasing the activity of antithrombin, which in turn inactivates thrombin and factor Xa.
