Question 2 of 5

A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for warfarin. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?

A. You should avoid eating spinach and kale. B. You can take ibuprofen for a headache. C. You should take the medication at bedtime. D. You can continue to participate in contact sports.

Question 3 of 5
