Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has a new prescription for enoxaparin. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include when teaching the client?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Inject the medication into the abdomen. Enoxaparin is a low molecular weight heparin that is typically administered subcutaneously into the abdomen to prevent deep vein thrombosis. This site offers a larger area for administration and better absorption. Administering the medication into the deltoid muscle (
A) is not recommended for enoxaparin. Massaging the injection site (
B) can increase the risk of bruising and should be avoided. Expecting the injection to cause bruising (
D) is not a standard expectation and should not be communicated to the client.
