A client with atrial fibrillation has been prescribed dabigatran. What instruction should the nurse include in this clientÔÇÖs teaching plan?
Correct answer
B
Rationale
Dabigatran increases bleeding risk; avoiding NSAIDs (B) reduces this risk. Spinach (A) affects warfarin, not dabigatran. Routine bleeding tests (C) arenÔÇÖt required for dabigatran. Antidotes (D) like idarucizumab are hospital-administered, not kept at home.
