What should be included in the teaching about the contraindications of warfarin therapy?

Clients with diabetes should not take warfarin.
Clients who are pregnant should not take warfarin.
Clients over 65 should not take warfarin.
Clients with hypertension should not take warfarin.

The correct answer is: Clients who are pregnant should not take warfarin.

Clients who are pregnant should not take warfarin because it is a pregnancy category X drug, which means it has the potential to cause fetal harm. Warfarin can cross the placenta and affect the developing fetus, leading to birth defects or bleeding issues in the newborn. It is crucial for healthcare providers to educate clients of childbearing age about the need for effective contraception while on warfarin therapy to prevent pregnancy and the associated risks to the fetus. Clients with diabetes, over 65 years old, or hypertension can still take warfarin if it is deemed necessary by their healthcare provider. These conditions are not contraindications to warfarin therapy.
