A patient has been taking heparin for three days and has developed hematuria. The most appropriate action for the nurse is to:

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Hold the next dose of heparin and contact the physician. Hematuria (blood in urine) is a potential sign of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT), a serious adverse reaction to heparin. Stopping heparin is crucial to prevent further complications such as thrombosis. Contacting the physician is necessary for further evaluation and management. Inserting a urinary catheter (

C) is important for overall health but not the immediate priority in this situation. Administering an additional dose of heparin (
D) is contraindicated due to the potential adverse effects already experienced.
