Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assessing a client who is taking warfarin. Which of the following findings should the nurse identify as the priority to report to the provider?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Melena. Melena is a sign of gastrointestinal bleeding, which can be a serious complication of warfarin therapy due to its anticoagulant effects. Reporting melena promptly is crucial to prevent further complications like hemorrhage. Hair loss (
A) is a common side effect of warfarin but not a priority compared to potential bleeding. Abdominal cramping (
C) can occur but does not indicate immediate danger. Fever (
D) is not directly related to warfarin therapy and may be due to other causes.
