Answer to Question 1

Answer: 2

1. Pork and rice are good sources of vitamin K, and would not be recommended.
2. NSAIDs and aspirin can potentiate anticoagulants. The nurse should caution against using either.
3. The client should not drink any alcohol.
4. The client should be instructed not to double a dose if one is forgotten.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 4

1. Foods rich in vitamin K counteract the purpose of the anticoagulant.
2. Since bleeding is a potential complication of anticoagulants, the client should be instructed on ways to prevent falls.
3. Hard toothbrushes can induce bleeding in the gums.
4. The client should use an electric razor to prevent nicks that can bleed.
