Clients receive warfarin therapy to decrease the risk of
stroke, myocardial infarction (MI), or pulmonary emboli
(PE) from blood clots. Since warfarin is an anticoagulant,
the medication must be monitored to ensure the
anticoagulation is within the therapeutic range and
prevent hemorrhage (high levels of anticoagulation) or
stroke, MI, or PE (low levels of anticoagulation). An INR of
2.5 is within the targeted therapeutic range of 2 to 3 for a
client who has atrial fibrillation.

report to the provider is restlessness, which can be an

rapid removal of electrolytes from the client's blood and
can lead to dysrhythmias or seizures. Other
