Question 4 of 5
A nurse is providing teaching to a client who has a new prescription for enoxaparin. Which of the following medications for pain relief should the nurse include in the teaching that can be taken concurrently with enoxaparin?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale:
Rationale: Acetaminophen is the appropriate pain relief option to be taken concurrently with enoxaparin because it does not interfere with platelet aggregation or clotting factors, unlike other options. Ibuprofen, naproxen sodium, and aspirin are nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) which can increase the risk of bleeding when taken with enoxaparin. Acetaminophen, on the other hand, does not have the same effect on platelet function, making it a safer choice for pain relief in patients taking enoxaparin.
