Question 2 of 5
A postpartum patient has developed deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and treatment with warfarin (Coumadin) has been initiated. Which dietary selection should be modified in view of this treatment regimen?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Foods that are high in vitamin K should be restricted and/or limited in consumption while on Coumadin therapy. Vitamin K is the antidote to Coumadin activity. Therefore, lentils, which are high in vitamin K, should be modified in the patient's diet to prevent interference with the effectiveness of warfarin in treating DVT.
