    This document provides information about the drug phytonadione (Vitamin K) including its dosage, mechanisms of action, indications, adverse reactions, precautions, and nursing responsibilities. It lists phytonadione's dosage as 0.5 ml intramuscularly with its mechanisms being the promotion of coagulation factor formation in the liver. Its main indications are the prevention and treatment of hemorrhagic states in neonates and as an antidote for hemorrhages caused by oral anticoagulants or vitamin K deficiency. Rare but severe adverse reactions include cramping, chest pain, and shock. Nurses are responsible for monitoring factors like PT/INR levels and assessing the patient for signs of bleeding
