Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
The priority with this patient is to address her obesity because losing weight may eliminate the problem. Depending on the agent that is ordered, there may be risk for unstable blood glucose and the patient may need support to cope with the diagnosis but these are not the priority concern. Disturbed sensory perception is not indicated to be a problem at this time.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Warfarin, an oral anticoagulant drug, causes a decrease in the production ovitamin Kdependent clotting factors in the liver. The eventual effect is a depletion of these clotting factors and a prolongation of clotting times. It is used to maintain a state of anticoagulation in situations in which the patient is susceptible to potentially dangerous clot formation. It does not increase prothrombin, vitamin Kdependent factors in the liver, or procoagulation factors.
