Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Dexpanthenol is indicated for the prevention of intestinal atony or loss of intestinal muscle tone in postoperative adults. Docusate, psyllium, and senna are laxatives that would not be indicated for the postoperative patient with no bowel activity.

Urokinase is used for lysis of pulmonary emboli and treatment of coronary thrombosis. Reteplase is used to treat coronary artery thrombosis associated with an acute myocardial infarction. Rivaroxaban is used to prevent deep vein thromboses that may lead to pulmonary emboli. Fondaparinux is used to treat and prevent venous thromboembolic events.
