مريض على إينوكسابارين تحت الجلد. أي طريقة حقن صحيحة؟

A client is on subcutaneous enoxaparin. Which injection technique is correct?

1. Abdomen, 5 cm from the umbilicus, no aspiration or rubbing
2. Expel the air bubble from the prefilled syringe before injecting
3. Inject into the thigh muscle, aspirating before giving
4. Massage the site afterwards to speed absorption

Answer: A) Abdomen, 5 cm from the umbilicus, no aspiration or rubbing. Enoxaparin is given subcutaneously into the abdomen away from the umbilicus, without aspiration or massage, to reduce bruising. The air bubble in a prefilled syringe is usually left in, per the manufacturer.
