A nurse caring for a patient prescribed warfarin discovers that the patient is taking garlic to help with hypertension. Which condition will the nurse assess for in this patient?
Increased cholesterol level
Distended jugular vein
Bleeding
Angina
The Correct Answer is C
A. Increased cholesterol levels are not directly related to garlic intake or the effects of warfarin.
B. Distended jugular veins may indicate fluid overload or heart failure but are not a direct concern related to warfarin and garlic interaction.
C. Garlic can enhance the anticoagulant effect of warfarin, increasing the risk of bleeding; therefore, monitoring for signs of bleeding is crucial.
D. Angina is not a direct consequence of the interaction between garlic and warfarin and does not specifically relate to the assessment for this patient.

Correct Answer is A
Explanation
A. The P wave represents atrial depolarization, which is initiated by the SA node, the heart's natural pacemaker.
B. The AV node is responsible for conducting impulses from the atria to the ventricles but does not initiate the P wave.
C. The Bundle of His transmits the electrical impulses to the ventricles but is not directly associated with the P wave.
D. Purkinje fibers are involved in ventricular depolarization, which corresponds to the QRS complex, not the P wave.
