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 effect. This finding requires immediate attention to prevent further bleeding.
Other choices:
A: Hair loss - Not a priority as it is a common side effect of warfarin but does not indicate an urgent issue.
C: Abdominal cramping - Common side effect of warfarin and not a priority unless severe or accompanied by other concerning symptoms.
D: Fever - Although fever may indicate infection, it is not directly related to warfarin therapy and does not require immediate reporting in this context.
