Question 1 of 5
A 65-year-old female client with a long history of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) had two cardiac stents placed via percutaneous coronary intervention. After this procedure, she was started on aspirin 325 mg orally once daily and clopidogrel 75 mg orally once daily. The nurse is preparing to provide education about each of these drugs. For each health teaching statement below, click a box to indicate whether it is Essential (necessary or appropriate drug information) or Unrelated (not relevant or appropriate drug information) for the client.
Correct Answer: A,B,C
Rationale: The correct answer is A, B, and C. Statement A is essential because it informs the client to avoid medications that can increase bleeding risk, important for those on antiplatelet therapy like aspirin and clopidogrel. Statement B is essential as abruptly stopping antiplatelet therapy can lead to stent thrombosis. Statement C is essential as it emphasizes the need to report any bleeding, which can be a sign of a complication. Statements D, E, and F are unrelated as they do not directly pertain to the action or side effects of aspirin and clopidogrel.
