- 17. Low-Molecular-Weight Heparins
• Inhibit thrombus and clot formation by blocking factors
Xa and Iia
• Do not greatly affect thrombin, clotting, or prothrombin
times; therefore cause fewer systemic adverse effects

to develop new blood vessels
• Are indicated for specific uses in the prevention of clots
and emboli formation after certain surgeries or bed rest
Copyright © 2013 Wolters Kluwer Health | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins
- 18. Thrombolytic Agents

breaks down fibrin threads in a clot to dissolve a
formed clot
• Indications

• Pharmacokinetics
– Drugs must be injected and are cleared from the
body after liver metabolism
– Pregnancy and lactation
- 19. Thrombolytic Agents (cont.)
• Contraindications
– Allergy
– Any condition that would be worsened by dissolution

– Cardiac arrhythmias
– Hypotension
– Hypersensitivity – Rash, flushing, bronchospasm, and
anaphylactic reaction

- 21. Question
The pharmacology instructor is talking to the student about
low-molecular-weight-heparin medications. What would
the instructor indicate as an advantage to these
medications?
A. Indicated for patients who are on an exercise regimen
B. Initiates angiogenesis
C. Blocking factors IXa and Iaa
D. Cause fewer systemic adverse effects
Copyright © 2013 Wolters Kluwer Health | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins
- 22. Answer
D. Cause fewer systemic adverse effects
Rationale: Low-molecular-weight-heparins do not greatly
affect thrombin, clotting, or prothrombin times; therefore
cause fewer systemic adverse effects.

- 23. Bleeding Disorders Treated With Clotting
Factors
Copyright © 2013 Wolters Kluwer Health | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins
• Hemophilia
– Genetic lack of clotting factors that leaves the patient
vulnerable to excessive bleeding with any injury.
• Liver Disease
– Clotting factors and proteins needed for clotting are
not produced.
• Bone Marrow Disorders
– Platelets are not formed in sufficient quantity to be
effective.

– Replace clotting factors that are either genetically
missing or low in a particular type of hemophilia
• Indications
– Prevent blood loss from injury or surgery and to treat
bleeding disorders
• Pharmacokinetics

such by the body

- 44. Question
You are writing a care plan on a patient who is taking an
anticoagulant. What would be an appropriate nursing
diagnosis?
A. Evaluate patient for PT > 2.5
B. Establish safety precautions
C. Notify the health care provider of any patient receiving
this drug
D. Maintain narcan on standby
Copyright © 2013 Wolters Kluwer Health | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins
- 45. Answer
B. Establish safety precautions
Rationale: Patients on anticoagulants are at increased risk
for bleeding. The following are all important steps to
protect the patient from blood loss: using soft-bristled
toothbrushes, using electric instead of straight razors,
avoiding activities that could easily involve injury,
limiting invasive procedures, and ensuring adequate
compression to stop bleeding.
