A 56-year-old client meets with the nurse for education about a recently diagnosed atrial fibrillation. The client verbalizes concerns about being away from work too long and doubts about the necessity of having blood tests every week, as the client has no symptoms. Which is the best motivational statement by the nurse for this client? “The medicine and blood work can help prevent blood clots, which can lead to strokes. What do you know about warfarin therapy?” “You have to take your warfarin and go to the clinic every week for a blood draw. It’s not the most convenient way to live, but you have to do it.” “Atrial fibrillation is when your upper heart beats ineffectively and blood clots can go to your brain. Would you like some printed information about this?” “Your health care provider wants you to take your warfarin every day, go to the clinic every week to have blood drawn, and then wait for any dosage change. Do you understand?”
