Answer to Question 1

Should this happen, the patch needs to be removed immediately, and the patient must be
monitored for serious respiratory depression for up to 12 hours after the patch is removed. Prepare
to administer an opioid antagonist if ordered.

Answer to Question 2

 Remind him about the need to use an electric shaver instead of a razor and the reasons why.
 Inform both of them that M.M. is taking a drug that can cause increased bleeding and is not
permitted to use a straight razor because of the risk for bleeding.
 This would also be a good time to review all other patient teaching related to warfarin therapy.
