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? - ANSWERINR 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.

trochanter.
