Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: Aspirin is an antiplatelet, and would lead to more bleeding.
Rationale 2: Heparin would not be used; it is another drug in the class.
Rationale 3: Vitamin K is the drug for overdose; it helps to clot the blood.
Rationale 4: Protamine sulfate is the antidote for heparin overdose.

Rationale 1: Warfarin increases the risk of bleeding from dental procedures.
Rationale 2: APTT is not used to monitor warfarin.
