A client who weighs 110 lb receives a prescription for dalteparin 150 units/kg SUBQ daily for 4 months. The medication is available in 7,500 units/0.3 mL prefilled syringe. How many mL should the nurse administer? (Enter numerical value only.)

Calculation: Convert the client's weight from pounds (lb) to kilograms (kg). Weight in kg = 110 lb / 2.2 lb/kg = 50 kg. Calculate the total units of dalteparin the client should receive daily. Daily units = Desired units/kg × Weight (kg) = 150 units/kg × 50 kg = 7500 units. Determine the volume to administer based on the available prefilled syringe. The medication is available in a 7,500 units/0.3 mL prefilled syringe. Since the calculated daily dose (7500 units) exactly matches the units in one prefilled syringe (7500 units), the volume to administer is the volume of that syringe. Volume to administer: = 0.3 mL.
