Question 1 of 5

The nurse is teaching a client with atrial fibrillation about the need to begin long-term anticoagulant therapy. Which explanation should the nurse use to best describe the reasoning for this therapy?

A. Because of this dysrhythmia, blood backs up in the legs and puts you at risk for blood clots. B. This dysrhythmia decreases the volume of blood flowing from the heart, which can lead to blood clots forming in the brain. C. The antidysrhythmic medications you are taking cause blood clots as a side effect, so you need this medication to prevent them. D. Because the atria are quivering, blood flows sluggishly through them, and clots can form along the heart wall, which could then loosen and travel to the lungs or brain.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: In atrial fibrillation, the quivering atria cause sluggish blood flow, leading to clot formation along the heart wall, which can dislodge and cause pulmonary or cerebral emboli. Options A, B, and C inaccurately describe the mechanism requiring anticoagulation.
