Pharmacological and Parenteral Therapies QID 1069
A patient is taking clopidogrel after a recent coronary stent placement. What should the nurse include in the patient education regarding this medication?
Explanation
Clopidogrel is an antiplatelet medication that can increase the risk of bleeding. Patients should be educated to report any unusual bleeding or bruising. Taking the medication with milk, increasing intake of vitamin K-rich foods, or monitoring for hyperglycemia are not specific concerns with clopidogrel.
