ATI LPN Dosage Calculation PN Nursing Care of Children Proctored Assessment 3.1
Calculation
A nurse is preparing to administer enoxaparin 20 mg subcutaneously to a school-age child. The amount available is enoxaparin 30 mg/0.3 mL. How many mL should the nurse administer? (Round the answer to the nearest tenth. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
mL
Explanation & Rationale
To calculate the amount of enoxaparin to administer, you would use the formula: (desired dose ÷ available dose) × available volume. For this scenario, it would be (20 mg ÷ 30 mg) × 0.3 mL, which equals 0.2 mL.
