Question

The nurse is reviewing the laboratory test results for a client who takes 325 mg of acetylsalicylic acid, or aspirin, daily and has been having frequent nosebleed episodes. what blood level should the nurse review?

Answer 1

The blood levels should check for the acetylsalicylic acid because aspirin is a blood thinner. I know because I take only a baby aspirin for a condition I have and I still bleed easily.
