Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has a new prescription for warfarin. Which of the following is a therapeutic use of this medication?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: This medication prevents venous thrombosis. Warfarin is an anticoagulant that works by inhibiting the synthesis of clotting factors in the liver, thus preventing the formation of blood clots. It is commonly used to treat and prevent conditions such as deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism.
Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because warfarin is not indicated for preventing angina pectoris, treating bradycardia, or treating hypertension. Warfarin's primary therapeutic use is anticoagulation to prevent thrombosis, making choice A the correct option.
