Question 1 of 5

A nurse is preparing to administer enoxaparin subcutaneously to a client using a prefilled syringe. The nurse should plan to use which of the following techniques when administering this medication?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale:
Correct Answer: D. Inject the medication into abdominal tissue.


Rationale: Enoxaparin is a low molecular weight heparin that is typically administered subcutaneously. The abdomen is a common and recommended injection site for subcutaneous injections due to the abundant subcutaneous tissue, allowing for proper absorption and minimizing the risk of tissue damage or nerve injury. Additionally, rotating injection sites helps prevent tissue irritation.

Incorrect

Choices:
A: Aspirating prior to injecting the medication is not necessary for subcutaneous injections as it is for intramuscular injections.
B: Gently massaging the site following the injection is not recommended as it may lead to bruising or discomfort.
C: Expelling air bubbles is more relevant for intravenous injections and not typically necessary for subcutaneous injections.
