Heparin monitoring labs: ANSWER ptt, aptt
Heparin antidote: ANSWER protamine sulfate
ANSWER PT/INR labs to check for warfarin (coumadin)
Warfarin antidote: ANSWER: vitamin K
What might occur if lab results are elevated? ANSWER risk for bleeding
OTC medications to stay away from: ANSWER Aspirin or NSAIDs
Medication intervention for individuals with hemophilia and ITP: ANSWER:
Do not provide medications via instant messaging Provide a different way.
ANSWER: Patients who are at a higher risk of bleeding should refrain from
participating in contact sports.
bleeding s/s - ANSWER Hematemesis
Hematuria, or blood in the pee,
Bright crimson blood in the feces, or hematochezia
Purpura (severe bruises)
Petichiae hemarthrosis, or joint hemorrhage
Hemarthrosis intervention: ANSWER uses ice and direct pressure to restrict
blood vessels.
Hemophilia A-ANSWER clotting factor 8 deficiency is typically born with a
missing clotting factor and may cause greater bleeding than normal.
What should be done for a patient who has a PE? ANSWER raise HOB places
the patient on the left.
, A vitamin B12 shortage, caused by either inadequate oral intake or

B12, causes pernicious anemia, or ANSWER.
ANSWER: Iron deficiency anemia brought on by inadequate food intake, poor
absorption, or blood loss
Iron deficiency treatment: ANSWER IM iron using the Ztrack method to stop it

AVOIDING MILK
Black stools and constipation are typical symptoms of iron deficiency anemia in
children receiving PO iron. ANSWER
meals strong in iron: ANSWER leafy greens
Red beef, kidney beans, raisins, and egg yolks
ANSWER: Folic acid shortage is similar to b12 deficiency, however it does not
impact neural function. Pregnant women, babies, and toddlers are at high risk
because of growing
Thank you: folic acid dosage
Hypoxemia can aggravate sickle cell anemia in the following ways: discomfort,
o2 sat decreases, anemia, and systemic consequences.
Tx: pain management, hydration, and oxygen
Aplastic anemia-ANSWER: Radiation-induced or unintentional radiation
exposure decreases bone marrow and reduces red blood cell production.
Pancytopenia: take action
Reduced RBC, WBC, and platelet counts, anemia risk, bleeding risk, and
platelet or blood transfusion risk are all consequences of pancytopenia-
ANSWER.
WBC's neupogen-ANSWER
