A 28-year-old has a grade 3 murmur. Which characteristic indicates a need for referral? A fixed split
A split this created because of closure of valves. For example, and S2 is created by closure of an aortic and pulmonic valve. Normal these split with inspiration and almost never with expiration. Splits should never be fixed. This could indicate pathology such as atrial septal defect, pulmonic stenosis, or possibly mitral regurgitation.
Mr. Smith is a 72-year-old patient takes warfarin for chronic atrial fibrillation. His INR today is 4. The nurse practitioner should:
Stop the warfarin today and repeat INR tomorrow.

Stopping warfarin for 4 days with certainly decrease INR, but his overkill, and would put patient at risk for thromboembolism when INR is subtherapeutic. Vitamin K is not necessary for patients who are not bleeding due to high INR, or whose INR is less than 8.
