anticoag help

[woo 2]

doing a nursing ed project on simple instructions for coumadin and heparin, trying to simply for new nurses and help to build critical thinking skills any ideas how we can make this a fun project/ we were thinking of red flags and putting why they would be contraindicated and lab values any input appreciated :chuckle

I don't know if this is what your looking for or not, but if you count the letters in

Coumadin and PT (the test for checking the protime)

there's 10 letters.

The same for Heparin and PTT

10 letters

Our instructors taught us that so we wouldn't get the two mixed up.

Hope this helps!
