Oral anticoagulant treatment is used on those who have suffered a thromboembolic accident and to prevent the appearance of these episodes and their unfortunate consequences. A patient who needs anticoagulant treatment often comes to his/her Primary Health Care Center either for control of his/her anticoagulant medication or for some other chronic process which requires follow-up by the Primary Health Care Center team. It is essential that nursing professionals keep up to date about the latest anticoagulant drugs, especially regarding health education and prevention. This article synthesizes those items available in our environment about health education which should be provided to people undergoing anticoagulant treatment. | | Language | spa | | Pub Type(s) | English Abstract
