A nurse is preparing to administer enoxaparin 1 mg/kg subcutaneously every 12 hr. The client's weight is 121 lb. Available is enoxaparin 60 mg/0.6 mL. How many mL should the nurse administer per dose?
(Round the answer to the nearest tenth. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is ["0.6"]

Calculation: 1 mg/kg dose x 121 lb (weight) = 55 kg (approximately) 55 kg x 1 mg = 55 mg (dose required) Enoxaparin 60 mg/0.6 mL = 100 mg/mL Therefore, 55 mg / 100 mg/mL =

0.55 mL (rounded to 0.6 mL).
