excessive bleeding. Which medication would
the nurse expect to administer?

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.

administer?
vitamin K

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