What is the therapeutic (normal/target) range for INR in a patient taking warfarin?

  1. 2.0–3.0
  2. 1.5–2.0
  3. 1.0–2.0
  4. 3.5–4.5
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: A. 2.0–3.0

For most standard indications (such as atrial fibrillation or DVT prophylaxis), the target therapeutic INR range on warfarin is 2.0–3.0. Higher target ranges (e.g., 2.5–3.5) are used for specific higher-risk indications like certain mechanical heart valves, but 2.0–3.0 is the standard/most commonly cited range.
