A nurse is consulting a pharmacological reference about medication compatibility prior to administering warfarin to a client.
Which of the following medications should the nurse identify as being incompatible with warfarin?

Choice A rationale:

This action requires intervention by the nurse. Antiembolic stockings should be smooth and free of creases to ensure even pressure distribution along the legs. Creases, especially if on the front of the legs, can lead to areas of increased pressure, which might compromise circulation and increase the risk of skin breakdown or clot formation.

Choice B rationale:

Applying the stockings before the client gets out of bed is appropriate, as it ensures proper application and minimizes the risk of injury due to the client's leg swelling

Choice C rationale:

Asking the client to point their toes before applying the stockings is appropriate, as it helps with correct placement and reduces the risk of skin damage or discomfort

Choice D rationale:

Turning the stockings inside out (at least down to the heel) before applying them is a common technique to make it easier to position the stocking on the foot and leg properly. This method helps avoid excessive stretching of the stocking and ensures a better fit.

Choice A rationale:

The anterior fontanel is open in an 8-month-old infant. The anterior fontanel, located at the top of the baby's head where the skull bones have not yet fused, typically closes between 12 to 18 months of age. It is a normal finding in an 8-month-old infant.

Choice B rationale:

The posterior fontanel closes earlier than the anterior fontanel, usually within the first few months of life. It is a smaller diamond-shaped area located at the back of the baby's head. It is not expected to be open in an 8-month-old infant.

Choice C rationale:

Molding refers to the shaping of the fetal head during passage through the birth canal. It can cause temporary changes in the shape of the baby's skull. By 8 months of age, molding is not an expected finding as the skull bones have had time to return to their normal shape.

Choice D rationale:

Both fontanels being the same size is not a typical finding. The anterior fontanel is larger than the posterior fontanel, and their sizes are proportional. Any significant deviation from this proportion could indicate abnormal skull development and should be further assessed.
