Correct Answer is ["0.8"]

Explanation

To calculate the volume of enoxaparin to administer, you would use the formula: Volume = Dose / Concentration. Here, the dose required is 30 mg, and the concentration available is 40 mg/mL. Plugging the values into the formula gives you: Volume = 30 mg / 40 mg/mL = 0.75 mL. Therefore, the nurse should administer 0.8 mL when rounded to the nearest tenth.

Correct Answer is ["1.5"]

Explanation

To prepare a dose of 6 mg of dexamethasone when you have a vial that contains 4 mg/ml, you need to calculate the volume required to achieve the total prescribed dose. The formula to use is: (Desired Dose) / (Concentration of Vial) = Volume to Administer. Plugging in the values: 6 mg / 4 mg/ml = 1.5 ml.
