A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for warfarin. Which of the following over-the-counter medications should the nurse identify as safe for use with warfarin?
Correct answer
A
Rationale
Docusate is correct. Docusate is a stool softener, and it does not have a significant effect on blood clotting. Therefore, it is considered safe for use with warfarin, which requires careful monitoring to avoid interactions that may increase bleeding risks.
