Answer 34

34.  Choice B is the correct answer.  This patient has life threatening post partum hemorrhage and needs to have her heparin reversed.  The antidote for this is protamine.  Fresh frozen plasma and Vitamin K is the antidote for coumadin.  This patient is afebrile and it is not likely that the patient is septic.  There is no reason to be suspicious for thrombocytopenia and a platelet transfusion is not indicated.
