The nurse is teaching the client regarding use of sodium warfarin. Which statement made by the client would require further teaching?
Correct answer
C
Rationale
Taking aspirin while on warfarin increases bleeding risk due to their combined anticoagulant effects. The client needs further teaching to avoid aspirin. Monthly blood draws (for INR), checking for rashes (a side effect), and using an electric razor (to reduce cuts) are appropriate.
