A nurse is caring for a client who has a pulmonary embolism and has a new prescription for enoxaparin 1.5mg/kg/dose subcutaneous every 12 hr. The client weighs 245 lbs. How many mg should the nurse administer per dose? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading ero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)

Convert the client's weight from pounds (lb) to kilograms (kg) Given weight = 245 lb Conversion factor: 1 kg = 2.2 lb Weight (kg) = 245 lb / 2.2 lb/kg = 111.3636 kg Calculate the Single Dose (mg/dose) Prescribed dose = 1.5 mg/kg/dose Single Dose (mg) = Weight (kg) / Dose (mg/kg/dose) = 111.3636 kg x 1.5 mg/kg = 167.0454 mg Round to the Nearest Whole Number = 167
