HELP PLEASE

Published

So far I haven't had any luck on here with getting any help but I am reaching out again so please try to help me.

A question on an ATI pharmacology question really confused me maybe one of you can help me understand it.

The question was something like this: A patient is on Coumadin what lab values do you monitor possible answers were: PT 65, PT 90, INR 2.0, INR 3.0 I know INR is what is monitored for BUT as you can see by the answers which one???? I have asked my instructors and they have no clue.:rolleyes: Please help me!!!!

Im in Pharm right now and we are studying this. Would you be more likely to look for an INR of 2 than 3? Therapeutic range is 1.5- 2 x normal, so.

Well according to the ATI book (this is what our tests are based off of) the INR range is 2-3 and PT is 18-24 sec. Still stumped I even tried asking ATI but they will not help me since I am a student and not an instructor :(
