INR is the international normalization ratio and is used for clients taking anticoagulants ( blood thinning medications ) . The client should eat a normal healthy diet , but should not increase foods containing high amounts of vitamin K. The client should report using warfarin to any primary healthcare provider , as treatment may be changed due to this medication . The client should not manipulate the dosage unless instructed by the primary healthcare provider . An identification card or bracelet may also be recommended in case of emergencies . Clients should inform dentists and other healthcare providers especially before a medical procedure . The anticoagulant effect must be closely monitored . Incorrect : Vitamin K reverses the anticoagulant effects warfarin , so instruct the client to avoid foods high in vitamin K ( examples are green leafy vegetables , brussels sprouts , prunes , cucumbers and cabbage ) .
