Question 1 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a client who states she recently started taking garlic as an herbal supplement. The nurse should advise the client to stop taking garlic due to a potential reaction with which of the following client medications?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Warfarin. Garlic can interact with warfarin, a blood thinner, increasing the risk of bleeding. The nurse should advise the client to stop taking garlic to avoid potential dangerous interactions. Warfarin is metabolized by the liver, and garlic may interfere with its effectiveness, leading to an increased risk of bleeding episodes. Other choices (B, C,
D) do not have documented interactions with garlic that pose significant risks like warfarin. It is crucial to consider potential herb-drug interactions to ensure client safety and optimal treatment outcomes.
