Warfarin dosage

A

dependent on patients INR

22
Q

Warfarin frequency

A

same time everyday

23
Q

Warfarin MOA

A

Inhibit vitamin K synthesis by bacteria in the GI tract which then inhibits clotting factor production

24
Q

Warfarin adverse effects

A

bleeding, NV, abdominal cramps, skin necrosis, purple toes syndrome

Q

Warfarin antidote

A

vitamin K, when given IV there is a risk for anaphylaxis so you give it diluted and over 30 mins

acetaminophen, aspirin, NSAIDS, gingko, broad spectrum antibiotics, barbiturates, rifampin, phenytoin, statins, garlic, st john’s wort

28
Q

Warfarin nursing actions

administer the oral dose same time each day, assess carefully for excessive bruising/unusual bleeding, monitor INR lab values (2-3 goal range), do not fluctuate diet.

Clopidogrel dosage

A

300mg loaded dose, 75mg once daily

31
Q

Clopidogrel frequency

A

daily

32
Q

Clopidogrel MOA

A

alter the platelet membrane so it can’t receive the signal to form a clot

33
Q

Clopidogrel adverse effects

drug allergy, thrombocytopenia, active bleeding, leukemia, traumatic injury, gi ulcer, vitamin k deficiency, recent stroke

35
Q

Clopidogrel Interactions

A

dipyridamole, amiodarone, calcium channel blockers, NSAIDs, proton pump inhibitors

36
Q

INR

A

international normalized ratio is a calculation based off of pt time

37
Q

aPTT

A

Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time.

Measures how long it takes for a blood clot to form

38
Q

PT

A

measures how long it takes for a blood clot to form in a blood sample

39
Q

Anticoagulant

A

preventing/ delaying blood coagulation (Heparin, Enoxaparin, Warfarin)

40
Q

Antiplatelet

A

inhibit platelet aggregation (Clopidogrel)

41
Q

Prophylactic use

A

prevention

42
Q
