A nurse is preparing to administer enoxaparin 1 mg/kg subcutaneously to a client who weighs 220 lb. Available is enoxaparin 30 mg/0.3 mL. How many mL should the nurse administer? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)

To calculate the correct dose of enoxaparin, we need to follow these steps: Convert pounds to kilograms: 220 lb * 0.4536 kg/lb = 99.8 kg Calculate the daily dose in micrograms: 1 mg/kg * 99.8 kg = 99.8 mg Determine the volume needed from the available concentration: 99.8 mg * (0.3 mL / 30 mg) = 0.998 mL Therefore, the nurse should administer 1 mL of enoxaparin. Answer: 1 mL
