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: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Administer the medication into the anterolateral or posterolateral abdominal area. Enoxaparin is a low molecular weight heparin that is typically administered subcutaneously into these areas to prevent bruising, pain, and injury to underlying structures. This is because these areas have a thicker layer of adipose tissue, which helps to prevent accidental intramuscular injection, and also ensures proper absorption of the medication.

Explanation of Why Other

Choices are Incorrect:
A: Massaging the injection site after administering the medication is not recommended as it can lead to bruising or discomfort.
B: Expelling the air bubble from the syringe is generally not necessary for prefilled syringes as they are designed to have the correct dosage without air bubbles.
D: Holding the skin taut at the injection site is not necessary for subcutaneous injections and may cause unnecessary discomfort to the client.
