The nurse is caring for a patient who has
received a thrombolytic and is experiencing
excessive bleeding. Which medication would
the nurse expect to administer?
vitamin k
factor VIII
protamine sulfate

, aminocaproic acid
In the patient with excessive bleeding due to
the use of a thrombolytic, the drug should be
stopped and the patient given packed red
blood cells and fresh-frozen plasma (because
they contain clotting factors). If bleeding
continues after these actions, then
aminocaproic acid can be given to reverse
the excessive fibrinolysis caused by the
thrombolytic.

Which medication would the nurse prepare to
administer?
vitamin K
factor VIII
antihistamine

protamine sulfate
The antidote for heparin overdose, protamine

neutralizes the heparin, and the action lasts
about 2 hours. After 2 hours, additional
protamine may be indicated, depending on
the aPTT levels.
