Medical History
Medications
Patient admitted 1 days ago with complaints of swelling, redness, and pain in left leg.
A nurse is taking care of a client with diagnosis of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) receiving anticoagulant therapy.


Question 1 of 5

Based on the patient's current medications, the nurse knows to monitor [Dropdown Group 1] for heparin and [Dropdown Group 2] for warfarin sodium.

aPTT
PT-INR
CBC
No lab monitoring is needed

Correct Answer: A,B

Rationale:
To monitor heparin, the nurse should check the aPTT as heparin affects this clotting test. For warfarin sodium, the nurse should monitor PT-INR (Prothrombin Time-International Normalized Ratio) as it reflects the effect of warfarin. CBC (Complete Blood Count) is not directly related to monitoring these medications. No lab monitoring is incorrect as both heparin and warfarin require monitoring.
Therefore, choices A and B are correct for this question.
