Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Warfarin, heparin, Coumadin, low-molecular weight dextran, and aspirin are examples of agents that provide adequate anticoagulation with a minimum of hemorrhagic complications. They prevent venous stasis to prevent DVTs and pulmonary emboli.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Fluorovent is an oxygen-carrying perfluorocarbon (PFC) that can be used for preterm infants with underdeveloped lungs and in both adults and children with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). It is a liquid instilled directly into the lungs to act as a surfactant. It encourages the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide. Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) may benefit from its use as well.
