Question 1 of 5
A healthcare professional is providing discharge instructions to a client who has a new prescription for Enoxaparin. Which of the following instructions should the healthcare professional include?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Enoxaparin is a medication that should be administered as a subcutaneous injection in the abdomen to prevent bleeding complications. Massaging the injection site after administration should be avoided to reduce the risk of local irritation or bleeding. Rotating injection sites between the arms and thighs is a good practice for some medications but not recommended for Enoxaparin, which should be consistently given in the abdomen for optimal absorption and to avoid complications.

When providing discharge instructions to a client with a new prescription for Lisinopril, which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is to instruct the client to avoid salt substitutes.

This instruction aims to prevent potential adverse effects and ensure the client's safety while taking Lisinopril.
