A nurse is reviewing the medical record of a client who is taking
warfarin for chronic atrial fibrillation. Which of the following values
should the nurse identify as a desired outcome for this therapy? -
ANSWER-INR 2.5
Rationale: 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.

1 pressure injury on the greater trochanter of his left hip. Which of the
following instructions should the nurse include in the teaching? -
ANSWER-Change position every hour

bony prominences. The nurse should also instruct the client to limit
the angle of the hips when in a lateral position to no more than 30°.
This positioning prevents direct pressure on the trochanter.
