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 prescriptions for this client?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Enoxaparin. Following hip arthroplasty, the client is at risk for deep vein thrombosis (DVT) due to immobility. Enoxaparin is a low molecular weight heparin that helps prevent DVT by inhibiting clot formation. It is commonly prescribed postoperatively for thromboprophylaxis. Clopidogrel (
B) is an antiplatelet medication used for cardiovascular conditions, not typically for DVT prevention post-hip arthroplasty. Alteplase (
C) is a thrombolytic agent used to dissolve blood clots in emergency situations like stroke or pulmonary embolism, not for prophylaxis. Aspirin (
D) is an antiplatelet medication that may be used for cardiovascular prophylaxis but is less effective for preventing DVT compared to enoxaparin.
