| Popis: | There is much that patients must know to be able to safely manage warfarin (Coumadin). This study examined the extent of Coumadin-related knowledge patients living at home had 1 week following hospital discharge. Findings indicate that home care nurses need to concentrate on supplementing the inadequate knowledge patients have about Coumadin therapy, especially among the elderly. |
