Labs to monitor effectiveness of heparin - answerPTT
, inactivating thrombin and preventing the conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin. It also
prevents the formation of a stable fibrin clot in inhibiting the activation of the fibrin
stabilizing factor. - answerAction of Heparin
Dependent on adequate quantities of iron, folic acid, vitamin B12. - answerFactor that
promotes effectiveness of epoetin alfa
Action of alteplase (Activase) - answerbinds to the fibrin in a clot and converts the
plasminogen back to plasmin.
Antidote for Heparin - answerProtamine

factor Xa - answerAction of anticoagulant
bind to the fibrin in a clot and convert the plasminogen back to plasmin. Assist in the
dissolving of a clot. - answerAction of thrombolytics
Drug used for symptomatic bradycardis/anticholinergic - answerAtropine
N/V/D, ABD pain, peripheral vasodilation, salivation, diaphoresis, bradycardia, bronchial
constriction. - answerCholinergic Crisis
Muscle weakness, SOB, difficulty swallowing, respiratory insufficiency, quadriparesis,
quadriplegia. - answerMyasthenia Crisis
A challenge dose of edrophonim (Tension) is given. If the symptoms of a patient with
improves after the dose, it means they needed more cholinergic stimulation and their
standing treatment is inadequate. If there is no relief of symptoms or if an increase in
muscle weakness follows, then the patient is receiving too much. - answerCholinergic
