Question 1 of 5
A nurse is providing discharge teaching to a client who has a new prescription for warfarin. Which of the following statements by the client indicates an understanding of the teaching?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: "I’ll use my electric razor for shaving." This statement indicates an understanding of the teaching because warfarin is a blood thinner, increasing the risk of bleeding. Using an electric razor reduces the risk of nicks and cuts, which could lead to excessive bleeding.
Incorrect choices:
A: "I’ll be sure to eat more foods with vitamin K." - Eating more vitamin K-rich foods can interfere with the effectiveness of warfarin.
B: "I’ll take aspirin for my headaches." - Aspirin is a blood thinner and should not be taken along with warfarin.
D: "It’s okay to have a couple of glasses of wine with dinner each evening." - Alcohol can interact with warfarin and increase the risk of bleeding.
Choosing option C demonstrates the client's understanding of the importance of minimizing the risk of bleeding while on warfarin therapy.
