Practice Question
A nurse is teaching a client who has atrial fibrillation and is to start taking dabigatran. Which of the following statements by the client indicates an understanding of the teaching?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
"I should keep the medication in the original container."
Rationale:
🍃 Dabigatran is sensitive to moisture and must be kept in its original manufacturer’s bottle with the desiccant to maintain potency.
🍃 Transferring it to a pillbox or other container may compromise effectiveness and increase the risk of treatment failure.
🍃 The capsule should never be crushed, as this alters the drug's absorption and increases bleeding risk.
🍃 It also does not require refrigeration and should be kept at room temperature.
