    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

    Calculation: 1 kg = 2.2 lbs 95 lbs ÷ 2.2 = 43.18 kg 1 mg/kg × 43.18 = 43.2 mg (rounded to the nearest tenth)
