The nurse should explain to the patient the need of getting warfarin at the very same time every day. In the event of an emergency, such as forgetting, double, or skipping a dosage, the patient should immediately call the doctor. If the patient is pregnant, she should not take warfarin. A healthcare expert should also be consulted about the breastfeeding condition.
