Correct Answer: 1
Rationale: Patients on anticoagulant therapy should wear a MedicAlert bracelet. Aspirin is not allowed when a patient is on anticoagulant therapy. Lab work must be done routinely, not just if the patient notices bruising or bleeding. The intake of Vitamin K, not Vitamin C must be limited when a patient receives warfarin (Coumadin).
