A nurse is preparing to administer enoxaparin to a client. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

Insert the syringe needle halfway into the client's skin.

Expel the air bubble from the syringe prior to injection.

Administer the medication into the client's muscle.

Apply firm pressure to the injection site following administration.

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is B

Choice A rationale:

Enoxaparin is administered subcutaneously, so the syringe needle should be fully inserted into the client's skin.

Choice B rationale:

Expelling the air bubble from the syringe helps ensure accurate dosage and prevents the injection of air into the subcutaneous tissue.

Choice C rationale:

Enoxaparin is administered subcutaneously, not into muscle tissue.

Choice D rationale:

Applying firm pressure to the injection site following administration is not typically necessary for subcutaneous injections of enoxaparin.

Choice A rationale:

A BUN level of 16 mg/dL is within a normal range.

Choice B rationale:

A potassium level of 5.3 mEq/L is higher than the normal range (typically 3.5-5.0 mEq/L). Triamterene is a potassium-sparing diuretic, and if the client's potassium level is already elevated, it should be withheld to prevent hyperkalemia.

A sodium level of 142 mEq/L is within a normal range.

Choice D rationale:

An albumin level of 4 g/dL is within a normal range.

A. Urinary tract infection B. Deep-vein thrombosis C. Osteoporosis D. Hypothyroidism

Raloxifene is not used to treat urinary tract infections.

Choice B rationale:

Raloxifene is not used to treat deep-vein thrombosis.

Choice C rationale:

Raloxifene is a medication used to treat and prevent osteoporosis in postmenopausal women. It is a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) that helps improve bone density and reduce the risk of fractures.

Choice D rationale:

Raloxifene is not used to treat hypothyroidism.
