Question
a nurse should identify that clopidogrel is contraindicated for clients who have which of the following conditions?
myocardial infarction
peptic ulcer disease
pancreatitis
myasthenia gravis
Clopidogrel is an antiplatelet drug that can increase the risk of bleeding. Peptic ulcer disease involves ulcers in the digestive tract, and using clopidogrel can exacerbate bleeding from these ulcers, so it is contraindicated. Myocardial infarction is a condition where clopidogrel is often used (as it helps prevent further clotting). Pancreatitis and myasthenia gravis are not primary contraindications for clopidogrel.
