A nurse is preparing to administer enoxaparin 1 mg/kg subcutaneous to a client who weighs 165 lb. Available is enoxaparin 30 mg/0.3 mL. How many ml 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.)

Convert the client's weight from pounds (lb) to kilograms (kg). Weight in kg = 165 lb / 2.2 lb/kg = 75 kg Calculate the total desired dose in milligrams (mg). Desired dose (mg) = Desired dose (mg/kg) × Weight (kg) = 1 mg/kg × 75 kg = 75 mg Available concentration of the enoxaparin = 30 mg / 0.3 mL. Calculate the volume in milliliters (mL) to administer per dose. Volume (mL) = Desired dose (mg) / (Available concentration (mg) / Available volume (mL)) = 75 mg / (30 mg / 0.3 mL) = 75 mg / 100 mg/mL = 0.75 mL. Round the answer to the nearest tenth. = 0.8 mL.
