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.

How to stop binge eating
bulgar [2K]

Personally I find going to the gym being most helpful to stop myself from binge eating. Any activity that keeps you active can help you from just sitting around while snacking on foods.

However, do have your basic three meals a day as you should be doing. This is required for your basic health.
