Answer to Question 1

Ans: C, E
Feedback:
Coadministration of warfarin and oral contraceptives can result in a decreased anticoagulant effect, leading to subtherapeutic INR and increased chance of clotting (signs and symptoms of DVT or PE).

Ans: C
Feedback:
The nurse should mention that arterial thrombosis is caused by atherosclerosis and arrhythmias. Decreased blood flow, injury to the vessel wall, and altered blood flow are causes of venous thrombosis.
