A client is being discharged on warfarin (Coumadin), an oral anticoagulant. The nurse instructs him about using this drug. Which following response by the client indicates the need for further teaching?

  1. "I should shave with my electric razor while on Coumadin."
  2. "I will inform my dentist that I am on anticoagulant therapy before receiving dental work."
  3. "I will continue with my usual dosage of aspirin for my arthritis when I return home."
  4. "I will wear an ID bracelet stating that I am on anticoagulants."

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

(A) Using an electric razor prevents the risk of cuts while shaving. (B) Any physician or dentist should be informed of anticoagulant therapy because of the risk of bleeding due to a prolonged PT. (C) The client should be instructed to consult with his physician. Aspirin is avoided because it potentiates the affects of oral anticoagulants by interfering with platelet aggregation. (D) Identification bracelets are necessary to direct treatment, especially in an emergency situation.

  1. Menstrual phase
  2. Proliferative phase
  3. Secretory phase

(D) The corpus luteum begins to degenerate in the ischemic phase, causing a fall in both estrogen and progesterone.
