    A nurse is providing teaching to a client who is prescribed subcutaneous enoxaparin. Which of the following information should the nurse include in the teaching?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Dark stools could indicate gastrointestinal bleeding, a known side effect of enoxaparin, and should be reported immediately. B. Enoxaparin should be injected subcutaneously, not into a muscle. C. Enoxaparin is an anticoagulant and does not directly decrease bleeding; rather, it prevents blood clot formation. D. Enoxaparin should be injected at a 90-degree angle into the subcutaneous tissue.
