    A nurse in a clinic is reviewing teaching about food choices with a client who has recently begun taking warfarin. The nurse should instruct the client to limit consumption of which of the following foods?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Kale. Kale is very high in vitamin K, which antagonizes warfarin’s anticoagulant effect; large or inconsistent intakes can reduce warfarin efficacy. B. White beans. Low in vitamin K relative to leafy greens; not a major concern for warfarin interaction. C. Cantaloupe. Low vitamin K content; does not significantly affect warfarin therapy. D. Whole grain bread. Not a notable source of vitamin K and unlikely to alter warfarin effect.
