The nurse is preparing to give a heparin injection to a client who is malnourished and cachectic. A subcutaneous method of injection would be appropriate for so.

The nurse should dispense subcutaneous injections at 90 degrees if 2 in (5 cm) of subcutaneous tissue can be grasped, or at 45 degrees if only 1 in (2.5 cm) can be grasped. Anticoagulants are best absorbed if administered in the abdomen at least 2 in (5 cm) away from the umbilicus.

Intramuscular injection of heparin would drive quick absorption, resulting in a hematoma and agonizing muscle irritation. It should only be injected into the abdomen, the outer thigh, the buttocks, or the outer upper arm.

DanielleElmas [232]
8. Painkilling chemicals (i.e. analgesics) that occur naturally in the body are known as "endorphins."
This term comes from the fact that these endorphins act like internal (endogenous) morphines (opiates).
So they shortened endogenous morphine to "endo - orphines" = endorphins.
