Wow, these Videos are wonderful Liz, very easy to follow along! Can you make more on EKG and Ortho condition? Perhaps top ten reasons why pt come into primary and how to manage. I'm waiting on the binder for the lab interpretation course! I will most definitely purchase to support you when it comes out. I love the cheat sheet that you have created; so easy to follow along. Please make more videos for FNP!

Hi I have a question : Patient with history of stroke 7 years ago , he was previously on xarelto (then stopped cuz he switched providers who was giving him samples ) - then he was started at some point on Coumadin -- then he could not afford and was switched to eliquis .... He completely stopped taking anticoagulants 6-7 months ago -- because he can’t afford them -- There are some things he has difficulty recalling so ... Still waiting on medical records at this point What would you do ? Would you restart warfarin ? Since it is the cheapest but the one medication that requires INR checks ?

[@RealWorldNP]

Hey! Unfortunately I can't comment on specific cases for safety and legal reasons, but here area few helpful resources: www.aafp.org/afp/2019/0401/p422.html www.aafp.org/afp/topicModules/viewTopicModule.htm?topicModuleId=24#1

So helpful. Thank you

[@RealWorldNP]

Glad it was helpful!

I have difficulty understanding how to increase of decrease the dose by the percentage.

[@RealWorldNP]

Definitely check out the cheat sheet and it goes over it-- It's the percentage of the total dose. For example, if the daily dose is 10mg, decreasing by 10% is decreasing the dose by 1mg. So the new daily dose would be 9mg. Does that make sense?

[@melvafranklin1165]

Hi Liz unable to see cheat sheet How do i get it Thanks

[@RealWorldNP]

Hi Melva, The link to the cheatsheet is in the video description - www.realworldnp.com/coumadin-dosing-nurse-practitioner/

[@mikelooby8362]

They seem rather confident.

[@michellezevallos4842]

I don't see the dosing algorithm

[@RealWorldNP]

Hi Michelle - the updated cheat sheet should be listed in the description now. Thanks!

[@barbaraparupsky8072]

This was great and to the point, thank you!

[@RealWorldNP]

Thanks so much!

[@helenn8839]

im not familiar with the use of heparin (UFH & LMWH) in the Primary care. Which kind of patients would be on long-term heparin?

[@RealWorldNP]

I don't see much heparin use in primary care, but primarily it's LMWHs though for patients with a VTE after hospital discharge (DVT, PE, etc). Prescriber's letter is a great pharmacology resource to learn more!
