Extract:

Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Notifying the team and charting the refusal respects the client’s Jehovah’s Witness beliefs, ensuring no blood products are given. Other responses dismiss or challenge beliefs.
Question 3 of 5
The client diagnosed with arterial occlusive disease is prescribed an antiplatelet medication, clopidogrel (Plavix). Which assessment data indicate the medication is effective?
