Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Patients taking this drug may experience increased bleeding when taken with garlic. There is no restriction for grapefruit as there is with many other medications. Green, leafy vegetables should be restricted in patients taking warfarin. Red meats are not contraindicated.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The antithrombolytic drug aminocaproic acid is used to treat hemorrhage. Nurses giving thrombolytic drugs should monitor patients for bleeding from the mouth and rectum. Enoxaparin is given for disseminated intravascular coagulation. Protamine sulfate is an antidote for heparin. Vitamin K is an antidote for warfarin.
