Answer to Question 1

C
Celecoxib (Celebrex) is made from a chemical similar to the sulfa drug type of antibiotic. A patient who is allergic to sulfa drugs is likely to also be allergic to celecoxib.

Answer to Question 2

C
The goal of continuous heparin therapy is to keep the aPTT within a therapeutic range of 1.5 to 2.5 times greater than the laboratory-established control value. Two times the control value is within this range. The prescriber should be notified, but the infusion rate, which is therapeutic, will not change at this time.
