Question 1 of 5
A nurse is receiving a client who is immediately postoperative following hip arthroplasty. Which of the following medications should the nurse plan to administer for DVT prophylaxis?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Enoxaparin subcutaneous. Enoxaparin is a low molecular weight heparin commonly used for DVT prophylaxis post-surgery due to its efficacy and safety profile. It works by inhibiting clot formation. Warfarin (
A) is an oral anticoagulant that takes time to reach therapeutic levels, not ideal for immediate post-op DVT prophylaxis. Aspirin (
C) has antiplatelet effects but is not as effective as anticoagulants for DVT prophylaxis. Heparin infusion (
D) can be used for DVT prophylaxis but is less convenient than enoxaparin subcutaneous injections.
