Transcript text: What is the Normal PT range for a Pt. MOT on Warfarin?
Solution
The answer is the first one: 15-2.5× Normal.
Explanation for each option:
15-2.5× Normal: This option is correct. The Prothrombin Time (PT) for a patient on Warfarin is typically maintained at 1.5 to 2.5 times the normal PT range. This is because Warfarin is an anticoagulant, and the goal is to prolong the PT to prevent clot formation while avoiding excessive bleeding.
$717-13.5$: This option is incorrect. The numbers do not make sense in the context of PT values, which are typically much lower.
$40-50$: This option is incorrect. PT values in seconds are generally not this high, even for patients on Warfarin.
25 - 35: This option is incorrect. While this range might be seen in some specific cases, it is not the standard range for PT in patients on Warfarin therapy.
In summary, the correct range for a patient on Warfarin is 1.5 to 2.5 times the normal PT range, which is reflected in the first option.
