Correct Answer: D

Rationale:
Correct Answer: D. "I will pinch up the skin before injecting the medication."


Rationale: Pinching up the skin before injecting enoxaparin helps ensure proper subcutaneous injection technique, reducing the risk of injecting into muscle or causing discomfort. Pinching up the skin creates a subcutaneous tissue fold, providing a proper injection site and allowing for the medication to be delivered effectively. This step also minimizes the risk of bruising and ensures the medication is absorbed appropriately.

Summary of other choices:
A: Incorrect - Using upper arms for injections is not recommended for subcutaneous injections like enoxaparin.
B: Incorrect - Massaging the site after injecting can disrupt the medication's absorption and is not recommended.
C: Incorrect - Expelling air bubbles is important for intramuscular injections but not necessary for subcutaneous injections like enoxaparin.
