Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Dabigatran, a direct thrombin inhibitor, increases bleeding risk. NSAIDs inhibit platelet aggregation, exacerbating this risk. Instructing the client to avoid NSAIDs is critical to prevent bleeding complications. Unlike warfarin, dabigatran does not require dietary restrictions like avoiding vitamin K-rich foods, routine bleeding tests, or home antidotes.
