Correct Answer: 1,2,4
Rationale 1: Family and clients can be taught to give subcutaneous injections at home.
Rationale 2: Lovenox is used to prevent DVTs. The nurse should observe for the development of DVTs.
Rationale 3: Lovenox is a low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH), and does not require multiple lab tests.
Rationale 4: Although Lovenox is more predictable than are other anticoagulants and has fewer adverse effects, bleeding is still a possibility.
Rationale 5: Lovenox is generally administered once daily, and administration time is not tied to mealtimes.
