A nurse is preparing to administer heparin subcutaneously to a client.
Which of the following actions should the nurse plan to take?
a. administer the medication outside the 5 cm (2 in) radius of the
umbilicus
b. aspirate for blood return before injecting
c. rub vigorously after the injection to promote absorption
d. place a pressure dressing on the injection site to prevent bleeding -
....ANSWER...a. administer the medication outside the 5 cm (2 in)
radius of the umbilicus
RATIONALE: -the nurse should administer the heparin by
subcutaneous injection to the abdomen in an area that is above the
iliac crest and at least 5 cm (2 in) away from the umbilicus
-the nurse should not aspirate by pulling back on the plunger of the
heparin syringe to check for a blood return, because this will cause the
injection site to bruise
-the nurse should apply firm pressure to the injection site for 1-2 min
after the administration of the heparin to prevent bruising

Handige website voor examenvragen, samenvattingen, enz. . De website geeft een duidelijk overzicht van de verschillende keuzes die je hebt.
Een samenvatting verkopen die ik toch al heb gemaakt. Waarom niet?
Knoowy documenten kan je goed op weg helpen bij je opleiding.
Zeker aan te raden! Je kunt direct leren en het scheelt je veel tijd! Zelf documenten uploaden, dan hoeft het je ook geen geld te kosten.
Knoowy werkt erg fijn, en het downloaden van de samenvattingen ging snel.
Knoowy werkte prima qua gebruik!
Knoowy is zeker een aanrader. Ze hebben tot nu toe iedere paper kunnen leveren die ik nodig had. Ik heb hierdoor alleen maar hoge cijfers en nog nooit een onvoldoende gehad.
Ik vind oefenvragen super en ben er paar keer per week mee bezig om te oefenen. Het zou fijn zijn om nog meer van dit soort vragen te kunnen kopen. Ik oefen altijd op de website zelf.
