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.
