Answer:

The duration of the effect of Warfarin is prolonged for 2 to 5 days, while the effect of enoxaparin can be maintained for a maximum of 24 hours. The provider probably switched to Enoxaparin to better control the anticoagulant effect.

Explanation:

Warfarin (Coumadin) is an orally administered anticoagulant that indirectly interferes with the action of vitamin K-dependent coagulation factors II, VII, IV and X. The effect as an anticoagulant can begin after 8 hours of administration, reaching a maximum effect in 72 hours, and an effect that can last up to five days.

Enoxaparin (Lovenox) is an anticoagulant administered subcutaneously, whose effect is to inhibit the activity of coagulation factor Xa. Its effect is rapid after administration, and its half-life is relatively short —about 4 to 6 hours— so that the effect can remain for no more than 24 hours.

When a provider switchs the indication of warfarin to enoxaparin, it is to achieve better control of anticoagulation, use it for a limited time or without affecting other mechanisms of blood coagulation.

Gnoma [55]

Answer:

Professor Garcia may be interpreting people's actions as s3x1sm. This is because the ones who are doing so are solely male and she likely feels they see her as a weaker, less capable person who needs more help solely because she is a woman and if it were a man in her place the same thing possibly would not be happening. I hope this answer works!

What is the best way to lose body fat? select one:
gregori [183]
D, because all others could affect other parts of your health. Don't crash diets, after so long your body can go into starvation mode. Exercising alone--- if there is not another person with you, you may be tempted to over-exercise. And C is incorrect because those pose big risks to your health, depending upon the combination or even duration/side-effects.
And D is correct because you're still eating--- just maybe more healthily and exercising, but not too much or too little. <span />
