A client who weighs 110 lbs has received a prescription for dalteparin, 150 units/kg to be administered subcutaneously daily for 4 months. The medication is available in a 7,500 units/0.3 mL prefilled syringe. How many mL should the nurse administer? (Please enter the numerical value only.)

Step 1: Convert the client's weight from lbs to kg using the conversion factor you provided (1 kg = 2.2 lbs). So, 110 lbs × (1 kg ÷ 2.2 lbs) = 50 kg Step 2: Calculate the daily dosage of dalteparin in units using the prescription (150 units/kg). So, 50 kg × 150 units/kg = 7500 units Step 3: Determine how many mL of the medication this dosage corresponds to using the information on the syringe (7500 units/0.3 mL). So, 7500 units × (0.3 mL ÷ 7500 units) = 0.3 mL The nurse should administer 0.3 mL of dalteparin to the client.
