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.
