Question 1 of 5
A nurse is providing discharge teaching for a client who has a new prescription for warfarin. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Use an electric razor while on this medication. This instruction is important because warfarin is an anticoagulant medication that can increase the risk of bleeding. Using an electric razor instead of a manual razor helps prevent cuts that could lead to excessive bleeding. It is crucial for the client's safety.
Choices B, C, and D are incorrect:
B: If a dose of the medication is missed, doubling the dose is dangerous and can increase the risk of bleeding.
C: Nosebleeds are not common during initial treatment with warfarin. If a client experiences persistent or severe nosebleeds, they should seek medical attention.
D: Increasing fiber intake does not directly reduce the adverse effects of constipation associated with warfarin. Clients should maintain a balanced diet and adequate hydration instead.
