A nurse observes a newly licensed nurse administer enoxaparin subcutaneously using a pre-filled syringe. Which of the following indicates appropriate medication administration?
Correct answer
D
Rationale
Administering in the love handles 2 inches from the umbilicus is correct for subcutaneous enoxaparin, unlike transferring, removing air (needed for dose accuracy), or using a 30° angle (too shallow).
