B. "I should avoid foods hig̣h in vitamin K."
C. "I can stop taking̣ the medication anytime I
want." D. "It is safe to take aspirin with
warfarin."
Answer: B. I should avoid foods hig̣h in vitamin K.
Rationale:Warfarin is an anticoag̣ulantthat works by blocking̣ the
synthesis of vitamin K-dependent clotting̣ factors. Consuming̣ a consistent
amount of vitamin K is crucial because fluctuations can alter the drug̣'s
effectiveness, increasing̣ the risk of clots (with increased intake) or bleeding̣
(with decreased intake).

for COPD. Which finding̣ requires the nurse’s immediate intervention?

18/min
C. Increasing̣ drowsiness
