Question 1 of 5

A client being discharged from the hospital will be taking warfarin sodium at home on a daily basis. The nurse has provided instructions to the client about the medication and determines that further teaching is needed if the client makes which statement?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Warfarin sodium is an oral anticoagulant that is used mainly to prevent thrombotic events, such as thrombophlebitis, pulmonary embolism, and embolism formation caused by atrial fibrillation or other disorders. Oral anticoagulants prolong the clotting time and are monitored by the prothrombin time and the international normalized ratio (INR). Client education should include signs and symptoms of adverse effects and dietary limitations such as limiting foods high in vitamin K (e.g., leafy green vegetables, liver, cheese, egg yolks) as prescribed because these increase clotting times.
