Correct Answer is A
Explanation
A. Blood flow starts from the right atrium, moves into the right ventricle, then to the lungs, where it is oxygenated and returns to the left atrium, and then flows into the left ventricle before being pumped into the aorta.
B. This sequence incorrectly places the left atrium before the right ventricle, which is not the correct flow of blood.
C. This sequence starts incorrectly with the right ventricle, skipping the left atrium entirely after blood is oxygenated.
D. This option also incorrectly starts with the right ventricle and does not include the proper sequence of blood flow.
Correct Answer is C
Explanation
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.
