Question 1 of 5
A nurse is planning to administer subcutaneous enoxaparin 40 mg using a prefilled syringe of enoxaparin 40 mg/0.4 mL to an adult client following hip arthroplasty. Which of the following actions should the nurse plan to take?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Insert the needle completely into the client's tissue. When administering subcutaneous enoxaparin, the needle should be inserted at a 45 to 90-degree angle into the subcutaneous tissue. This ensures proper delivery of the medication and minimizes the risk of injecting into muscle tissue or causing discomfort to the client. Option A is incorrect as aspiration is not necessary for subcutaneous injections. Option B is incorrect as small air bubbles in the syringe do not pose a significant risk. Option C is incorrect as enoxaparin is typically administered in the abdomen rather than the thigh for subcutaneous injections.
