Where do I give (if at all) a lovenox shot to an extremely emaciated patient with no abdominal fat? Do I pull up the skin and give it? I wouldn't think so. It's not SQ that way!

[decartes]

Pinch the skin in a designated SQ area and inject needle at a 45 degree angle.

[themonalisa]

ok, so inject in a designated "SQ" area even when there is no SQ? That's ok?

[beautifulb]

That sounds like what I would say.

(Bye the way, I almost feel like I am living in history because of the OP and the response. (The Mona Lisa and Decartes or Descartes).

[melinated]

in the leg if they're not too skinny

[decartes]

Got the arm and the back too.

Should be Descartes but that name is always taken. Hence I think and therefore I am, Decartes.
