Question 1 of 5
A nurse is providing teaching to a client who has a new prescription for clopidogrel. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Report any signs of bleeding. This is important because clopidogrel is an antiplatelet medication that can increase the risk of bleeding. Instructing the client to report any signs of bleeding, such as easy bruising, blood in urine or stools, or prolonged bleeding, allows for early detection and intervention. Avoiding foods high in vitamin K (choice
A) is more relevant for clients taking anticoagulants, not antiplatelet medications like clopidogrel. Taking the medication with milk (choice
C) is not necessary. Expecting to feel drowsy (choice
D) is not a common side effect of clopidogrel.
