Heparin Mnemonic for Nursing Pharmacology (NCLEX)

Study this Heparin NCLEX mnemonic and other mnemonics with Pixorize. Heparin is an anticoagulant or blood thinner, meaning its purpose is to prevent blood clots. This is useful in preventing blood clots from forming to cause DVTs, pulmonary embolisms, heart attacks, or strokes. However, heparin is a high alert medication because of its high risk of bleeding. Heparin requires regular lab draws to monitor PTT levels, which should be between 1.5 to 2 times the patient’s baseline. If the PTT level is more than double the baseline, do not give the heparin and alert the provider. Heparin is also known to cause heparin-induced thrombocytopenia, or low platelet levels, so keep an eye on that lab value as well. Finally, the antidote of heparin is protamine, which is given via IV in cases where the effects of heparin need to be reversed.
