Explanation:

To determine the correct statement about monitoring heparin therapy, we recall that the partial thromboplastin time (PTT) is the laboratory test used to assess the therapeutic effect of heparin. Bleeding time assesses platelet function, thrombin time assesses fibrinogen function, and prothrombin time (PT) assesses warfarin therapy (or coagulation factors II, VII, X). So the correct option is the one stating that partial thromboplastin time assesses the therapeutic effect of heparin.

Answer:

1. Partial thromboplastin time assesses for therapeutic effect of heparin.
