Question 3 of 5
While teaching a client with a new prescription for Warfarin, which of the following statements by the client indicates a need for further teaching?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because Warfarin interacts with vitamin K, found in green leafy vegetables, not potassium. The client should avoid consuming large amounts of foods high in vitamin K to maintain the effectiveness of Warfarin therapy. Increasing potassium intake is not a concern related to Warfarin therapy, so this statement indicates a need for further teaching.
Question 4 of 5
A client is prescribed Spironolactone. Which of the following laboratory findings should the nurse monitor and report to the provider?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Spironolactone is a potassium-sparing diuretic, meaning it can cause potassium retention, leading to elevated potassium levels. A potassium level of 5.2 mEq/L is above the normal range (3.5-5.0 mEq/L) and indicates hyperkalemia, which can be a serious condition. Therefore, this finding should be promptly reported to the healthcare provider for further evaluation and management to prevent potential complications.
