Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
The nurse should screen for conditions that could be exacerbated by increased bleeding tendencies, including hemorrhagic disorders, recent trauma, spinal puncture, gastrointestinal (GI) ulcers, recent surgery, intrauterine device placement, tuberculosis, presence of indwelling catheters, and threatened abortion. Beginning anticoagulant therapy with active peptic ulcers could result in severe bleeding. Last menstrual period, urinary tract infection, and weight should not impact anticoagulant therapy.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
The dosage for nizatidine, when taken PO only at bedtime, is 150 to 300 mg. Options B, C, and D are not correct.
