Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Right reason is one of the universally recognized rights of safe drug administration. The other listed rights are not used in practice.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
The warfarin dose is regulated according to the INR. The INR is based on the prothrombin time. The red blood cell count is not indicative of warfarin dosage. The aPTT is utilized to determine heparin dose. The platelet count is required to determine warfarin dose.
