Question 1
A nurse is caring for a patient recently prescribed warfarin (Coumadin) following a diagnosis
of atrial fibrillation. The patient asks, "Why do I have to get my blood tested so often now?"
Which of the following responses by the nurse is most appropriate?
A. "Frequent blood tests are done to make sure the medication is not building up in your liver."
B. "We check your potassium level regularly to prevent muscle cramps while on warfarin."
C. "Your blood tests help ensure your dosage is safe and your blood is not too thin or too
thick."
D. "Testing is needed to prevent allergic reactions to warfarin over time."
✅ Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Warfarin affects blood coagulation by inhibiting vitamin K–dependent clotting
factors. The INR (International Normalized Ratio) must be monitored regularly to maintain
therapeutic levels and prevent bleeding or clotting complications. The therapeutic INR range is
usually 2.0–3.0, and dosage adjustments are based on this lab value. The nurse must provide
patient education that emphasizes safety and therapeutic effectiveness, not liver or potassium
levels. Regular monitoring helps ensure the patient's blood stays within a safe range.
