A client who weighs 110 pounds receives a prescription for dalteparin 150 units/kg subcutaneously 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.)

To calculate the mL of dalteparin to administer, we need to determine the total number of units required for the client and then convert it to the volume based on the concentration provided. First, we need to calculate the total number of units required: Weight of the client: 110 pounds Dalteparin dosage: 150 units/kg Duration of treatment: 4 months To convert the client's weight from pounds to kilograms, we divide it by 2.2: 110 pounds / 2.2 = 50 kilograms Next, we calculate the total number of units required: 150 units/kg * 50 kilograms = 7,500 units Now we can calculate the volume to administer: 7,500 units / 7,500 units/0.3 mL = 0.3 mL Therefore, the nurse should administer 0.3 mL of dalteparin.
