- instruction re: self-admin

expel the air bubble in the syringe. it's nitrous oxide and allows the client to
receive all the medication during the injection.
- for subcutaneous injections: when a prefilled syringe is not avail, use a 20- to 22-
guage needle to withdraw medication from the vial - then, change to a small
needle (25- or 26- gauge, 1/2 to 5/8 inches long). deep subcutaneous injections
should be administered in the abdomen, ensuring a distance of 2 in from the
umbilicus. do not aspirate.
- rotate sites - between left anterolateral & posterolateral abdominal walls at least
2 inches from umbilicus - pinch up an area of skin, inject at 90 degree angle, and
insert needle completely.
- do not rub the site for 1-2 min after the injection.
- avoid OTC medication unless prescribed - avoid the use of OTC NSAIDs, aspirin,
or medications containing salicylates.
- don't take enoxaparin w/: ginger, garlic, ginkgo, or feverfew. these supplements
may increase the risk of bleeding.
- monitor for indications of bleeding (bruising, gums bleeding, abdominal pain,
nose bleeds, coffee-ground emesis, tarry stools)
