What should be assessed before using coagulation-modifying drugs?

  1. Only blood type

  2. Family wealth history

  3. Food preferences

  4. Drug or food allergies, medical history

The correct answer is: Drug or food allergies, medical history

Before using coagulation-modifying drugs, it is important to assess any possible allergies to drugs or any other foods, as well as the medical history of the patient. This is important in order to avoid any potential adverse reactions or interactions with other medications. While blood type may be important in certain medical situations, it is not relevant in this particular context. Similarly, family wealth history and food preferences are not relevant when assessing the appropriateness of using coagulation-modifying drugs.
