ANS: D
Complaints of easy bruising should concern the nurse because of the drug-to-drug interaction of two competing antagonist anticoagulant agents.
A loose tooth does not indicate any adverse effects from the combination of warfarin and acetylsalicylic acid.
Complaints of a UTI do not indicate any adverse effects from the combination of warfarin and acetylsalicylic acid.
Complaints of stiffness in the joints would not be the greatest concern in a patient taking both warfarin and acetylsalicylic acid.
