Question 1 of 5
A client is receiving discharge instructions for a new prescription of Enoxaparin. Which of the following instructions should the provider include?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Enoxaparin is administered as a subcutaneous injection in the abdomen to prevent bleeding complications. Injecting into the muscle or massaging the site can increase the risk of bleeding. Rotating sites between the arms and thighs is not recommended for Enoxaparin administration due to variations in absorption rates.
Question 2 of 5

Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A persistent dry cough is a common adverse effect of Enalapril, which is an ACE inhibitor. Enalapril can cause the accumulation of bradykinin, leading to cough.
