Pharmacological and Parenteral Therapies QID 1024
Which of the following medications requires the nurse to monitor the patient's International Normalized Ratio (INR) regularly?
Explanation
Warfarin is an anticoagulant that requires regular monitoring of the INR to ensure therapeutic levels are maintained and to prevent the risks of bleeding or thrombosis. Metoprolol, Lisinopril, and Atorvastatin do not require INR monitoring as they do not have anticoagulant effects.
