The nurse evaluates teaching about warfarin (Coumadin) is successful when the patient makes what statement?
A) "If I miss a dose, I will take two pills the next day."
B) "I will check with the pharmacist before taking any herbal supplements."
C) "I will increase the dark-green leafy vegetables in my diet."
D) "I will take a multivitamin daily."
B
Feedback:
Warfarin is involved in many drug–drug and drug–herb interactions so the patients statement about checking with the doctor before starting any new drugs or supplements would be correct. The other statements made by the patient indicate the need for further teaching because he or she should not take two pills after missing a dose, there is no need to increase green leafy vegetables containing vitamin K, and multivitamin use is contraindicated.
