Question 1 of 5
A nurse is providing discharge teaching for a patient who has a new prescription for warfarin. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include? What instructions should the nurse include for warfarin?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: "Avoid foods high in vitamin K." Warfarin is a blood thinner that works by decreasing the blood's ability to clot. Vitamin K can counteract the effects of warfarin, so patients should avoid consuming large amounts of foods high in vitamin K, such as leafy greens. This instruction is crucial to ensure the medication's effectiveness and prevent complications like blood clots. Taking warfarin in the morning (
B) or increasing vitamin C intake (
C) does not directly impact its effectiveness. Using a hard-bristled toothbrush (
D) can increase the risk of bleeding gums but is not a primary concern with warfarin therapy.
