Rodney Taper, a 63-year-old male with a history of congestive heart failure is diagnosed with DVT. He has been hospitalized to receive anticoagulant therapy. His physician is planning for Rodney’s discharge. At that time, Rodney will take a PO anticoagulant and low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) as his treatment at home. Rodney asks the health care professional why heparin is important and why it cannot be taken by mouth. Which of these responses would be correct? a. Heparin acts to inhibit the action of fibrin in clot formation to prevent another clot but is not absorbed from the GI tract. b. Heparin acts in the liver to inhibit the action of fibrin in clot formation, thus stopping additional clot formation, and is not absorbed as rapidly when given by mouth. c. Heparin can be administered by mouth but acts more quickly by the IV or subcutaneous routes. d. Heparin alters the synthesis of blood coagulation factors in the liver by interfering with vitamin K and cannot be absorbed through the GI tract.
