Answer to Question 1

4
Heparin is given for its interference with the clotting processes and the chance of preventing further overuse of clotting factors. Heparin is usually only used when other methods of management are failing. Heparin does not increase or decrease blood flow in the circulation. Heparin does not increase blood clot formation.

Answer to Question 2

1, 2, 3, 4
Air bubbles, blood clots, kinks, and loose connections are all reasons for a dampened waveform. When a system is underdamped, one of the ways to correct the system is to obtain shorter tubing. Low blood pressure will not cause the waveform to be dampened.
