Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Foods such as green, leafy vegetables have high levels of vitamin K. Warfarin is an anticoagulant that acts by interfering with vitamin K-dependent clotting factors. If the amount of vitamin K is increased in the diet, the medication dose may need to be adjusted. A diabetic diet would be continued as indicated for a patient receiving warfarin. Vitamin C is not related to warfarin.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Prevention of and treatment of existing health problems to avoid further complications is an example of secondary prevention. Primary prevention includes infection control (hand washing), smoking cessation, immunizations, and prevention of postoperative complications.
