Remember Phytonadione or Vitamin K1 by the viking king using his (1) wand to magically create clogs for everyone in his kingdom. Vitamin K1 works by synthesizing clotting factors II, VII, IX, and X, shown by making clogs at the factory for a (2) tutu, a lucky (7) slot machine, a (9) lives cat, and a (10) tin. One indication for Vitamin K1 is to treat hypoprothrombinemia, shown by &nbsp;the hippo-pro with an hourglass. Additionally, due to bacterial colonization of the gut not being fully complete until several days after birth, levels of vitamin K may be low in newborns, thus vitamin K1 can be given for newborn prophylaxis, the newborn with purple-axes. It can also be used to treat bleeding from warfarin overdose, shown by the bleeding war-fairy overdosing. Side effects as a result of a hypersensitivity reaction can include shock, shown by the shocked person after tripping over an extension cord. Kernicterus, shown by the colonel can also occur in some newborns, which is a rare neurological disorder causing severe jaundice. Another side effect to be aware of is cardiac arrest, shown by the heart being arrested. While vitamin K1 can be taken orally, the presence of bile salts are required for intestinal absorption, shown by the bile-nile salt-shaker with absorbing-sponge at the intestines. Vitamin K1 can also be given intravenously, but there are increased risks with IV administration, represented by the up-arrow risk at the IV-stand. To reduce adverse effects, vitamin K should be diluted and infused slowly.&nbsp; So let&rsquo;s review. Vitamin K1 works by synthesizing clotting factors II, VII, IX, and X to treat hypoprothrombinemia and as newborn prophylaxis. It is also the antidote to treat warfarin overdose. Side effects include shock, kernicterus, and cardiac arrest. Bile salts are required for intestinal absorption and there are increased risks with IV administration.&nbsp;

The Viking King uses his (1) wand to magically create clogs for everyone in his kingdom. &nbsp;He pulls the 1 like a lever, and his clog factory starts pumping out clogs. &nbsp;Clogs are produced for everyone in his kingdom. &nbsp;From tutu dancers, to lucky (7)&nbsp;gamblers lookin' for a new shoes. &nbsp;Even the (9) lives cats livin' on the streets with hobos get to see their panhandlin' owner's (10) tins get filled with clogs. &nbsp;Not only are these clogs great for everyday use, they're also designed to meet the needs of professional athletes, like the hippo-pro with an hourglass, seen here training a newborn for a big race. &nbsp;The adult he's racing against doesn't want to lose to a newborn, and neither does his war-fairy trainer, so she's overdosing him on performance enhancing drugs, causing him to bleed. &nbsp;The race begins, and almost immediately someone tries to cheat. &nbsp;An extension cord is plugged in across the track in an attempt to trip the baby, but only results in the adult being shocked. &nbsp;The baby victoriously crosses the finish line, and the colonel steps in to arrest the heart who tried interferring with the race. &nbsp;Over on victory lane, bile is dumped onto the baby by a salt-shaker as though it were gatorade, and the intestines welcome the newborn with open arms, and a sponge for the bile. &nbsp;Meanwhile, the adult learns the risks of cheating, as an IV-stand pumps him full of Vitamin K1, which sends him rocketing up and out of the stadium for good.

Vitamin K1 is injected for added immunity that the baby does not have at this stage.

Vitamin K1 promotes the growth of bacteria in the baby's sterile bowel.

Vitamin K1 will decrease the risk for bleeding.

This vitamin K1 shot is used as a prophylaxis for jaundice.
