    A nurse is preparing to administer enoxaparin subcutaneously to a client using a prefilled syringe. The nurse should plan to use which of the following techniques when administering this medication?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. The air bubble helps to ensure that the entire dose of medication is delivered and prevents bleeding from the injection site. B. The nurse should plan to inject enoxaparin subcutaneously into abdominal tissue using a prefilled syringe without expelling the air bubble or aspirating prior to injecting the medication. C. Aspiration is not recommended because it may cause hematoma formation. D. Massaging the site is generally not recommended after enoxaparin injections to avoid bruising or hematoma formation.
