Question 1 of 5
The nurse is preparing to administer enoxaparin (Lovenox) to a client before hip replacement surgery. Which of the following conditions would prevent the nurse from administering this drug?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Bleeding disorder. Enoxaparin is an anticoagulant that can increase the risk of bleeding. Administering it to a client with a bleeding disorder could exacerbate their condition and lead to severe bleeding complications. Deep Vein Thrombosis (
A), Pulmonary Embolism (
D), and a Heart Rate of 60 (
C) are not contraindications for administering enoxaparin before hip replacement surgery. Deep Vein Thrombosis and Pulmonary Embolism are actually conditions for which enoxaparin is commonly used as a preventative measure. A heart rate of 60 is within normal range and would not prevent the administration of enoxaparin.
