Question 1 of 5

A nurse is planning to administer a prefilled syringe of enoxaparin to a client. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale:
Correct
Answer: B. Administer the medication into the anterolateral or posterolateral abdominal area.


Rationale: Enoxaparin is a type of anticoagulant medication that is typically administered subcutaneously. The anterolateral or posterolateral abdominal area is a recommended site for subcutaneous injections due to the presence of a relatively high amount of subcutaneous tissue, ensuring proper absorption of the medication. This area also minimizes the risk of hitting underlying structures such as blood vessels and nerves.

Incorrect

Choices:
A: Expelling the air bubble is not necessary with prefilled syringes as they are designed to contain the correct dosage with minimal air.
C: Holding the skin taut is not typically required for subcutaneous injections unless the client is extremely thin.
D: Massaging the injection site is not recommended as it can cause discomfort or bruising at the injection site.
