1 year. Before administering the medication, the nurse should check to see that
which of the following tests have been completed?
a. Thyroid hormone assay
Rationale: Thyroid testing is important because long-term use of lithium

b. “I will be sure to take the albuterol before taking the cromolyn.”

the leukotriene modifier (cromolyn). Using the bronchodilator first allows the airways

heartburn, acid indigestion, and stomach upset. The client should drink a fullglass of
water after taking an antacid to enhance its effectiveness.



8. A nurse is caring for a client who has deep vein thrombosis and has been on
heparin continuous infusion for 5 days. The provider prescribes warfarin PO
without discontinuing the heparin. The client asks the nurse why both
anticoagulants are necessary. Which of the following statements should the
nurse make?
a. "Warfarin takes several days to work, so the IV heparin will be used
untilthe warfarin reaches a therapeutic level."
Rationale:
However, these medications work in different ways to achieve therapeutic coagulation
and must be given together until therapeutic levels of anticoagulation can be achieved
by warfarin alone, which is usually within 1 to 5 days. When the client's PT and INR are
within therapeutic range, the heparin can be discontinued.
b. "I will call the provider to get a prescription for discontinuing the IV
heparin today.”
c. "Both heparin and warfarin work together to dissolve the clots."
d. "The IV heparin increases the effects of the warfarin and decreases
thelength of your hospital stay."
