Answer:

The correct answer is option B

b) Hold the dose and call the result to the physician.

Explanation:

Giving 2 doses at once, giving the dose and chart the results, or checking the vital signs and place them on bleeding precautions will be wrong.

Assessing therapeutic heparin effect is the right thing to do.

Why is it important to assess flexibility both before AND during a workout regimen?
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

In order to accurately evaluate progress in a flexibility workout regimen, it is important to establish a baseline level of flexibility and then to track progress during the regimen from that starting point. A baseline establishes where an individual is before starting a program; without a baseline, it would be difficult to know how much progress has been made as a result of the workout regimen. Tracking progress during a regimen is important because that information establishes the effectiveness of the regimen.
