5. Warfarin and Lovenox

   inchii replied to PsychNurse42's topic in Patient Medications

   Just like the other comments, Lovenox is given until INR is therapeutic (bridging). Based on your meds' high dosages, I would assume that your patient's weight is on the heavy side. We had 1 patient...

    inchii replied to nyt010806's topic in HIPAA Challenges
