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: An INR of 2.8 is therapeutic for atrial fibrillation (2.0-3.0), but notifying the provider (
D) ensures dose stability per protocol. Giving the dose (
A) is likely safe but not prioritized. Repeat sampling (
B) is unnecessary unless error is suspected. Bleeding monitoring (
