Final Answer:
Contains coagulation factors II, V, VII, IX, X. The correct answer is A
Step-by-step explanation:
Prothrombinex is a prothrombin complex concentrate (PCC) that contains coagulation factors II, V, VII, IX, and X. This combination of clotting factors makes it effective in treating bleeding disorders or deficiencies in these specific factors. The presence of these factors facilitates the formation of a stable blood clot, which is crucial for hemostasis.The correct answer is A
Prothrombinex is not designed to immediately reverse heparin. Heparin is an anticoagulant that works by inhibiting the activity of thrombin and factor Xa. While Prothrombinex does contain factor X, it is not a direct antidote for heparin. Instead, protamine sulfate is commonly used to rapidly reverse the anticoagulant effects of heparin.
The administration of Prothrombinex does not always require concurrent administration of Vitamin K. Vitamin K is essential for the synthesis of clotting factors in the liver, including factors II, VII, IX, and X. However, Prothrombinex itself provides these factors directly, bypassing the need for immediate vitamin K supplementation. In certain clinical scenarios, Vitamin K may be administered separately, but it is not a mandatory co-administration with Prothrombinex.
