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