Answer to Question 1

a

Answer to Question 2

Green leafy vegetables contain high levels of Vitamin K, which can increase blood clotting. If a person needs a drug such as Coumadin, Vitamin K consumption can counteract the effects of this drug. Many people take Coumadin to reduce their risk of developing blood clots or having a stroke. If they consume leafy green vegetables, their dosage of Coumadin may not be high enough to prevent the formation of clots. A surgeon may need to know about your consumption of leafy green vegetables if there is concern about excessive blood clotting that could interfere with wound healing.
