What is unique about Rivaroxaban among other anticoagulants?

  1. It does not require dose adjustment for renal dysfunction

  2. It is an oral factor Xa inhibitor

  3. It requires frequent laboratory monitoring

  4. It can be administered intravenously

The correct answer is: It is an oral factor Xa inhibitor

Rivaroxaban stands out from other anticoagulants because it is the only one that is an oral factor Xa inhibitor. A and D are incorrect because there are other anticoagulants that also do not require dose adjustment for renal dysfunction or can be administered intravenously. C is incorrect because Rivaroxaban does not require frequent laboratory monitoring, unlike some other anticoagulants.
