The nurse is reviewing new medication orders for a patient who has an epidural catheter for administration of pain medications. One of the orders is for enoxaparin (Lovenox), a low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH). What is the nurse’s priority action?


▸ Give the LMWH as ordered.

▸ Double-check the LMWH order with another nurse, and then administer as ordered.

▸ Stop the epidural pain medication, and then administer the LMWH.

▸ Contact the prescriber because the LMWH cannot be given if the patient has an epidural catheter.
