The nurse is caring for a patient prescribed enoxaparin. which laboratory values should the nurse monitor?
Pepsi [2]

The nurse is caring for a patient prescribed enoxaparin. The nurse should monitor Complete Blood Count (CBC) and basic metabolic panel (BMP), prothrombin time (PT).

Enoxaparin is low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) and it is used to treat and prevent clinical conditions such as acute coronary syndromes, pulmonary embolism (PE), deep venous thrombosis (DVT), venous thromboembolism (VTE) treatment, and periprocedural anticoagulation.

Enoxaparin has the identical side effects as heparin. Since antidote such as protamine has reduced effectiveness, bleeding complications can be fatal and life-threatening.

Whats the best procedure to deal with corrosive substances that have been ingested milk or mineral oil?
My name is Ann [436]

The answer is Ingested corrosives may be diluted by drinking 4–6 oz (113.4–170.1 ml) of water or milk. If vomiting is persistent, do no attempt to administer additional fluids. Avoid neutralization therapies as the resultant exothermic reaction may cause additional tissue injury.

Explanation :

  • Strong acids, corrosive agents, and highly reactive oxidants can cause large-scale destruction of living cells through direct chemical reactions. Sometimes referred to as necrotic cell death, this non-specific effect is induced by concentrated solutions of caustic and caustic chemicals that cause indiscriminate cell destruction.
  • A generalized overwhelming effect of this type is no different from those resulting from "burning" tissue. These chemically induced injuries are commonly referred to as "chemical burns."  
  • Such effects are produced not only by strong acids or bases  in harmful concentrations, but also by exposure to concentrated solutions of organic solvents such as ether, chloroform or carbon tetrachloride. The intensity of such non-specific toxicity is directly related to the concentrations of the chemical agents when  in contact with the target tissues.
  • Widespread cell destruction  can be caused by any chemical that is sufficiently soluble in tissue fluids to  access  cells at high concentrations. The effects of these chemicals in higher organisms are generally limited to easily accessible tissues such as the skin, eyes, mouth, nasal mucosa, and respiratory tract.
