Answer to Question 1

A
This patient has an INR in the appropriate range, which is 2 to 3 for most patients and 2.5 to 3.5 for some, so no change in warfarin dosing is necessary. It is not correct to request an order to ei-ther decrease or increase the dose of warfarin. It is not necessary to give vitamin K, which is an antidote for warfarin toxicity.

Answer to Question 2

A
Acetaminophen is the generic name.
Tylenol, Cipro, and Motrin are all trade names.
