Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client with deep vein thrombosis (DVT) that will be discharged from the hospital in the next hour. The nurse notes that the client is unable to provide self-injections at home. Which of the following medications should the nurse expect for discharge to manage the DVT at home?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Warfarin (Coumadin). Warfarin is an oral anticoagulant that can be self-administered at home. It is commonly used to prevent and treat DVT. The nurse should expect this medication for discharge as it allows the client to manage their condition independently. Insulin (
A) is used to manage diabetes, not DVT. Heparin (
C) and Enoxaparin (
D) are injectable anticoagulants that require training for administration, which the client is unable to provide.
