    Calculation

    A nurse is preparing to administer enoxaparin 75mg subcutaneous once daily to an antepartum client who has a clotting disorder. Available is enoxaparin injection 100 mg/mL. How many mL should the nurse administer? Round the answer to the nearest hundredth. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero

    mL

    Explanation & Rationale

    Given: Prescribed dose: 75 mg of enoxaparin Available concentration: 100 mg/mL Steps to solve: Determine the volume to be administered: Set up a proportion to solve for the unknown volume (X): 100 mg/mL = 75 mg/X mL Cross-multiplying gives us: 100 mg x X mL = 75 mg x 1 mL Simplifying: 100X = 75 Solving for X: X = 75 / 100 = 0.75 mL
