Pharmacology and the Nursing Process by Linda Lane Lilley: Practice Exam

What should be monitored to evaluate the effectiveness of coagulation modifiers?

1. Taste sensitivity

2. Level of consciousness and clotting study results

3. Hair texture

4. Nail growth rate

The correct answer is: Level of consciousness and clotting study results

Coagulation modifiers affect the body's clotting abilities and are important in managing certain conditions. B is the correct answer, as monitoring the level of consciousness and clotting study results can help determine the effectiveness of these medications. A is incorrect because taste sensitivity is not related to coagulation or the effectiveness of coagulation modifiers. C is incorrect because hair texture is not a relevant measure to evaluate the effectiveness of these medications. D is also incorrect because nail growth rate has no connection to coagulation or the effectiveness of coagulation modifiers.
