Asked by JPastore2
The nurse is caring for a patient with a mitral valve replacement who is now 3 hours post op. The nurse recognizes that the patient had a synthetic mechanical valve implanted, but the patient is not anti-coagulated upon return from surgery. What is the reason the patient would require anti-coagulation? The valve will not open if the patient is not anti-coagulated The patient is at a greater risk for the development of endocarditis if they are not anti-coagulated The patient will be at a high risk for clot formation around the new valve without anti-coagulation, which could lead to an increased risk of stroke. These patients do not get anti-coagulated because they just had the surgical repair of the malfunctioning valve.
