The nurse evaluates that additional patient teaching is needed regarding anticoagulants when the patient states that he will do what?"
A) "Carry a Medic Alert card with him."
B) "Report to the lab once a month."
C) "Use acetaminophen for arthritis pain."
D) "Use a disposable safety razor to shave."
D
Feedback:
The patient should use an electric razor to shave rather than a disposable razor that could nick his skin and increase risk of bleeding. Carrying a MedicAlert card, getting regular follow-up lab work, and use of acetaminophen would all be appropriate actions that would not indicate the need for further teaching.
