the effectiveness of flushing catheters with heparin. Option A will not affect the decision to administer
the medication and is not a priority. Administration of the medication STAT is of greater priority than
option B.
One day after a Billroth II surgery, the client suddenly grabs his right chest and becomes pale and

result in the symptoms described.
