    The nurse is performing teaching with a client being discharged with a prescription for dabigatran. Which of the following is a priority in client education?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. While dabigatran has limited options for reversal, educating the client about not abruptly discontinuing the medication is more critical to prevent thrombotic events. B. Blood in the urine and stool is not normal and would indicate a possible complication, not a normal effect. C. Abrupt discontinuation of dabigatran can lead to an increased risk of thromboembolism. It is crucial to educate the client about the importance of maintaining consistent use of the medication. D. Dabigatran does not have significant food interactions that would be the priority concern over the risk of abrupt discontinuation.
