You are writing a care plan for a patient who is taking anticoagulant.What would be an appropriate nursing diagnosis?

Choice A rationaleMaintaining narcan (naloxone) on standby is not directly related to anticoagulant therapy. Narcan is used to reverse opioid overdoses, not to manage the effects of anticoagulants.Choice B rationaleNotifying the healthcare provider of any patient receiving this drug is a general action but not an appropriate nursing diagnosis. Nursing diagnoses focus on identifying specific patient needs and planning care to address those needs.Choice C rationaleEvaluating the patient for PT (prothrombin time) for 2.5 is an action, not a nursing diagnosis. Nursing diagnoses identify patient needs and risks, guiding the planning and implementation of care.Choice D rationaleEstablishing safety precautions is an appropriate nursing diagnosis for a patient on anticoagulant therapy. Anticoagulants increase the risk of bleeding, so ensuring patient safety and preventing injury is crucial to minimize this risk. .
