The healthcare provider prescribes enoxaparin sodium 80 mg subcutaneously twice daily. The nurse is preparing a preloaded 1 mL syringe labeled, 'enoxaparin sodium injection, USP 60 mg/0.6 mL'. How many mL should the nurse administer? (Enter numeric value only. If rounding is required, round to the nearest tenth.)

The correct answer is 0.8 mL. To find the answer, we can use the following formula: (mg of medication ordered / mg of medication per mL) = mL to administer Substituting the values from the question, we get: (80 mg / 60 mg per 0.6 mL) = 0.8 mL Therefore, the nurse should administer 0.8 mL of enoxaparin sodium injection.
