A new mother receives heparin. She asks the nurse if she can breastfeed her baby. What is the most therapeutic response by the nurse?
1. No, because it would be too difficult to regulate your heparin dose.
2. No, because this could cause your nipples to bleed.
3. No, because this could alter your international normalized ratio (INR) times too much.
4. No, because heparin will enter your breast milk.
Question 2
The patient receives an appropriate dose of warfarin (Coumadin), but the international normalized ratio (INR) is in the high range. The patient denies taking any aspirin products. What is the best assessment question to ask the patient at this time?
1. Have you been eating much garlic?
2. Have you been eating a lot of salads and vegetables?
3. Have you been drinking too much milk?
4. Are you restricting your fluids too much?
