For a patient with antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (APLA) who has had a pulmonary thromboembolism, the appropriate target INR is:
c. 3.0
Patients with APLA who have experienced a thromboembolic event generally require a higher INR target, typically between 2.5 and 3.5, with 3.0 being a common target for managing such conditions.
