Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is postoperative following hip arthroplasty. The nurse should anticipate which of the following medications for this client?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Enoxaparin. Enoxaparin is a low molecular weight heparin used for preventing blood clots postoperatively, which is crucial for a hip arthroplasty patient due to the risk of deep vein thrombosis. Aspirin (
A) is not the first-line choice for postoperative prophylaxis. Alteplase (
B) is a thrombolytic agent used to dissolve blood clots and not for prevention. Clopidogrel (
C) is an antiplatelet medication and may not provide sufficient anticoagulation for postoperative management.
