@humblestartwill | How are you giving a lovenox injection and triggering the safety mechanism? 💉 | Instagram

Nurse Sarah on Instagram: "Here were the big mistakes in this clip when injecting Lovenox (enoxaparin) subcutaneously: 1. Improper cleaning. Cleaning should be done at least 15-20 seconds starting at the center and then using a circling motion from center to around 2" away (or per facility protocols). Allow it to dry completely. 2. Removing the air bubble. The prefilled syringes have the air bubble placed inside on purpose for these subcutaneous injections. It helps enable all of the medication
