Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client with atrial fibrillation who receives a prescription for warfarin. The international normalized ratio (INR) is 2.8. Which action should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Notify the healthcare provider. An INR of 2.8 indicates that the client's blood is not within the therapeutic range for warfarin. The nurse should notify the healthcare provider to discuss adjusting the dosage to ensure that the client's INR falls within the desired range of 2-3 for atrial fibrillation. Giving the next dose (
A) without consulting the provider could lead to potential bleeding complications. Obtaining another blood sample (
B) may delay necessary adjustments in medication. Monitoring for signs of bleeding (
C) is important but should not be the first action when the INR is subtherapeutic.
