Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Omeprazole can increase the effects of warfarin, a blood thinner, increasing the risk of bleeding. The nurse should monitor the client's blood clotting time closely and adjust the warfarin dosage as needed. Diazepam, phenytoin, and ketoconazole do not interact with omeprazole in a clinically significant way.
