رجل عمره ٧١ سنة عنده رجفان أذيني بدأ أبيكسابان ٥ ملغ مرتين يومياً بدل الوارفارين. الكرياتينين طبيعي، ووزنه ٨٢ كغ. الممرض يراجع معه التعليم قبل الخروج. أي عبارة منه تحتاج تصحيحاً؟

A 71-year-old man with atrial fibrillation switched from warfarin to apixaban 5 mg twice daily. Creatinine is normal and he weighs 82 kg. The nurse reviews teaching before discharge. Which statement needs correcting?

1. I will use a soft toothbrush and an electric razor
2. If I miss the evening dose, I take two in the morning
3. I will call the doctor if my stools turn black
4. I will tell my dentist I take a blood thinner

Answer: B) If I miss the evening dose, I take two in the morning. A missed apixaban dose is taken when remembered on the same day, then the usual schedule resumes; doubling up raises bleeding risk. The other statements are correct.
