A nurse is caring for a client who is postoperative following knee arthroplasty and has a new prescription for enoxaparin 1mg/kg subcutaneous. The client weighs 185 lb. How many mg should the nurse administer? (Round the answer to the nearest tenth. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)

A. Apply a moisture barrier ointment to the client's skin
Applying a moisture barrier ointment creates a protective barrier on the skin, preventing prolonged exposure to moisture, which can lead to skin breakdown in individuals with urinary incontinence. Keeping the skin dry and protected is essential in preventing skin irritation and breakdown.

B. Check the client's skin every 8 hr for signs of breakdown - Skin should be assessed more frequently, ideally every 2-4 hours, especially in clients with urinary incontinence, to detect signs of breakdown early.

C. Clean the client's skin and perineum with hot water after each episode of incontinence - Hot water can be harsh on the skin and exacerbate irritation. It's recommended to use mild, warm water and gentle cleansing techniques. Harsh cleaning methods can damage the skin.

D. Request a prescription for the insertion of an indwelling urinary catheter - Indwelling urinary catheters pose an increased risk of infection and other complications. Catheters should only be used when absolutely necessary, and preventive measures should be taken to manage incontinence without catheterization whenever possible.

A. Applying ice intermittently - Ice application helps reduce swelling and inflammation by constricting blood vessels. It is effective in managing pain and preventing further tissue damage in contusions, strains, and sprains.

B. Elevating the injured limb - Elevating the injured limb above the level of the heart helps reduce swelling by allowing fluids to drain away from the injured area. This is particularly important in managing contusions, strains, and sprains where swelling is a common symptom. Elevation supports the body's natural healing processes.

C. Resting the affected extremity - Rest is essential to allow the injured tissue to heal. Avoiding movement and stress on the affected area prevents further damage and promotes the healing process. Resting the extremity prevents additional strain on the injured muscles, ligaments, or tendons, allowing the body to repair the damaged tissues effectively.

D. Massaging the affected limb - Massaging the affected limb is generally not recommended in the acute phase of musculoskeletal injuries, especially contusions, strains, or sprains. Massaging can potentially worsen the injury, increase swelling, and cause further tissue damage. It is important to wait until the initial acute phase has passed and consult a healthcare professional before considering massage therapy.

E. Compression dressings - Compression helps control swelling by applying pressure to the injured area. Compression dressings or bandages provide support to the injured limb, minimize swelling, and reduce the risk of further injury. However, it's essential to apply compression correctly to avoid cutting off circulation, and it's usually best done under the guidance of a healthcare provider.
