Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assessing a client who has a new prescription for enoxaparin for a pulmonary embolism. Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Stool positive for occult blood. This finding should be reported to the provider because enoxaparin is an anticoagulant medication, which can increase the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding. A positive occult blood in the stool indicates possible gastrointestinal bleeding, which can be a serious side effect of enoxaparin therapy. Hemoglobin level of 10 g/dL could be related to the pulmonary embolism, platelet count of 100,000/mm3 is not significantly low, and INR of 1.2 is within the expected range for a client on enoxaparin therapy. Reporting the positive occult blood in the stool is crucial for early intervention to prevent further complications.
