Correct Answer is B

Explanation

Choice A rationale

Insulin is a medication used to manage blood sugar levels in clients with diabetes. It is not appropriate for the management of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) as it has no anticoagulant properties.

Choice B rationale

Warfarin (Coumadin) is an oral anticoagulant commonly prescribed for the long-term management of DVT. It is suitable for clients who are unable to self-administer injections, making it a practical option for discharge.

Choice C rationale

Heparin is an anticoagulant that is typically administered via injection or IV. For clients unable to self-inject at home, it is not the best choice for managing DVT after discharge.

Choice D rationale

Enoxaparin (Lovenox) is a low-molecular-weight heparin that is also administered via injection. For clients unable to perform self-injections, this medication would not be the most appropriate option for home management of DVT.

Correct Answer is A

Choice B rationale

Omeprazole is used in combination with antibiotics to treat H. pylori-induced ulcers but not for acute treatment.

Choice C rationale

Omeprazole is not solely used to treat heartburn; it is mainly for preventing and treating peptic and gastric ulcers.

Choice D rationale

Omeprazole is used to prevent gastric ulcers caused by NSAIDs, but its primary indication is for peptic ulcers prevention. .
