Answer to Question 1

ANS: 2

Answer to Question 2

2. The client has been taking ibuprofen for bursitis for the past month and is also being treated with warfarin (Coumadin) for chronic atrial fibrillation.

Rationale:
Clients who are taking high doses of NSAIDs, such as ibuprofen, and anticoagulants, such as warfarin, are predisposed to developing large ulcers that do not cause pain. The first symptom the client often experiences is a significant bleeding episode. Concurrent use of NSAIDs and anticoagulants should be avoided. The allergy to penicillin and morphine sulfate, history of atrial fibrillation, and recent eye surgery are not relevant to the client's bleeding incident.
