Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a postoperative client following a total knee replacement. Which of the following medications should the nurse anticipate the provider to prescribe to prevent the formulation of a deep vein thrombosis (DVT)?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Enoxaparin. Enoxaparin is a low molecular weight heparin commonly used for DVT prophylaxis postoperatively due to its anticoagulant properties. It helps prevent the formation of blood clots by inhibiting certain clotting factors. Alteplase (tP
A) is a thrombolytic agent used to dissolve blood clots and is not typically used for DVT prevention. Warfarin is an oral anticoagulant that requires frequent monitoring and is often used for long-term management of DVT but not typically for immediate postoperative prophylaxis. Clopidogrel is an antiplatelet medication that inhibits platelet aggregation and is not commonly used for DVT prevention.
