Calculation
A nurse is caring for a client who is postoperative hip arthroplasty and has a new prescription for enoxaparin 1 mg/kg/dose subcutaneous every 12 hr. The client weighs 95 lbs. How many mg should the nurse administer per dose? (Round the answer to the nearest tenth. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
mg
Explanation & Rationale
To convert the client's weight from pounds to kilograms: 95 lbs ÷ 2.2 = 43.18 kg. Now calculate the dose: 1 mg/kg × 43.18 kg = 43.2 mg, which rounds to 43 mg.
