Question

which laboratory information will the nurse assess to detect if hit develops ina client who is receiving a continuous heparin infusion

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Platelet aggregation in HIT causes neutralization of heparin, so that the activated partial thromboplastin time will be shorter and more heparin will be needed to maintain therapeutic levels.
