Question 1 of 5
A nurse is providing teaching to a client about how to self-administer subcutaneous injections of enoxaparin. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Ensure that the air bubble remains in the syringe. This instruction is crucial when administering enoxaparin to prevent injecting air into the subcutaneous tissue, which can lead to air embolism. Removing air bubbles ensures accurate dosage delivery. Releasing the skin fold (
A) helps with accurate injection depth but is not specific to enoxaparin. Injecting into the lateral thigh (
B) is not recommended for enoxaparin, as the abdomen is the preferred site. Rubbing the site after injection (
D) can cause bruising and is unnecessary.
