He is prescribed antiplatelet and anticoagulant drugs. Which of the following matches a drug with its correct characteristic? Review Topic QID: 100534 1 Warfarin: directly inhibits thrombin 4% (7/167) 2 Heparin: activates antithrombin 3 57% (95/167) 3 Aspirin: reversibly inhibits COX-1 8% (14/167) 4 Clopidogrel: antagonizes ADP receptors on endothelial cells 25% (42/167) 5 Prasugrel: reduced risk of bleeding compared to other drugs in its class 4% (7/167) M1 Select Answer to see Preferred Response PREFERRED RESPONSE 2 (M1.HE.28) A 66-year-old male with a history of deep venous thrombosis is admitted to the hospital with shortness of breath and pleuritic chest pain. He is treated with an anticoagulant, but he develops significant hematochezia. His BP is now 105/60 and HR is 117; both were within normal limits on admission. The effects of the anticoagulant are virtually completely reversed with the administration of protamine. Which of the following was the anticoagulant most likely administered to this patient?
