Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The GP IIb/IIIa antagonists are used short term to prevent ischemic events in patients with acute coronary syndromes (unstable angina and nonQ wave MI) and those undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention.
The GP IIb/IIIa antagonists do not dislodge venous thrombi or treat arterial stenosis.
The GP IIb/IIIa antagonists are not indicated to prevent strokes and clotting.
The GP IIb/IIIa antagonists do not enhance the effect of heparin, nor are they used for aspirin-allergic patients.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The patient's comment about taking aspirin for a headache demonstrates the need for further teaching. Aspirin should not be taken concurrently with warfarin, because it increases the effects of warfarin and therefore the risk for bleeding tendencies.
Contact sports can lead to injury, with resultant internal or external bleeding. The patient's comment demonstrates understanding of teaching.
An electric razor should be used rather than a regular razor to avoid potential injury. The patient's comment demonstrates understanding of teaching.
Excessive bruising is an adverse effect and should be reported to the prescriber. The patient's comment demonstrates understanding of teaching.
