The nurse should include information about all correct choices for a client prescribed heparin. A client should be educated on how to self-administer subcutaneous injections and should be aware of the symptoms of deep vein thrombosis. In addition, the client should be aware of the laboratory tests required while taking heparin and should be able to recognize signs of abnormal bleeding. Scheduled administration times with meals is not necessary information for heparin administration.
