Question 1 of 5

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

Correct Answer: B

Rationale:
Correct Answer: B: Expel the air bubble from the syringe prior to injection.


Rationale: Expelling the air bubble from the syringe before injection is crucial to prevent air embolism. Air embolism can be life-threatening if air enters the bloodstream. By expelling the air bubble, the nurse ensures that only the medication is being injected, promoting client safety.

Incorrect

Choices:
A: Insert the syringe needle halfway into the client's skin - Incorrect. Enoxaparin is typically administered subcutaneously, not halfway into the skin.
C: Administer the medication into the client's muscle - Incorrect. Enoxaparin is a subcutaneous medication, not meant for intramuscular administration.
D: Apply firm pressure to the injection site following administration - Incorrect. While applying gentle pressure after injection is appropriate to minimize bleeding, it is not the priority action in this scenario.
