Electives and exploratory courses (interest-based) Interest-based electives are part of what makes the middle grades experience special. For the first time, students have a choice of which classes to take. They also begin to exercise autonomy while exploring personal interests and possible career choices. The exploratory wheel is a common elective choice primarily for first-year students to the school.
Taking warfarin (Coumadin) Warfarin is a medicine that makes your blood less likely to form clots. This may be important if: 1  You have already had blood clots in your leg, arm, heart, or brain.  Your health care provider is worried that a blood clot may form in your body.
Warfarin (brand names Coumadin and Jantoven) is a prescription medication used to prevent harmful blood clots from forming or growing larger. Beneficial blood clots prevent or stop bleeding, but harmful blood clots can cause a heart attack, stroke, deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism. Because warfarin interferes with the formation of blood clots, it is called an anticoagulant. Many people refer to anticoagulants as âblood thinnersâ; however, warfarin does not thin the blood but instead causes the blood to take longer to form a clot.
