A client who had a pulmonary embolism is receiving IV heparin and has just begun taking his first dose of warfarin (Coumadin). The client asks the nurse, "How long will this pill take in order to prevent me from developing more clots
I would like to go home soon." The nurse responds: A) "It usually takes 2 to 3 days for warfarin to become therapeutic, meaning your blood will be thin enough to prevent further clot formation." B) "I don't really know. Right now you are on two blood thinners, so we won't be able to tell if it's working until the doctor discontinues your heparin drip." C) "That's a good question. If warfarin has a long half-life, it could take many days. I will have to ask the pharmacist this question." D) "First, we have to have your health care provider switch you from IV heparin to a low molecular weight heparin, which you need to inject in your belly."
