You do not give PO doses of Heparin because it is not absorbed that way, and you do not give IM because of an increased risk for hematoma in the injection site. Heparin is best when given either IV or SubQ..

Heparin is best given in high doses follow by smaller daily doses. Because the pt in the question is experiencing internal bleeding and heparin should be given quickly to increase the blood coagulation and later can be given in smaller doses daily.

SUPINE POSITION because u cannot position the patient to the operative side, a detached retina will stay in place in a Supine position. the others options will affect the healing process .
