Question 5 of 5
During preadmission testing for same-day surgery, a client states that she has added two cloves of garlic each day to her diet to help control her blood pressure. The nurse should further inquire about which of the following?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Garlic can affect blood pressure and has anticoagulant properties, which may increase bleeding risk during surgery. Inquiring about the client's blood pressure helps assess the impact of garlic on her condition and informs surgical planning. The type of surgery, amount of garlic, or anesthesia preference are less directly relevant to this concern.
