HESI bsn 225 RN Pharmacology Proctored Exam
Calculation
The healthcare provider prescribes enoxaparin sodium 80 mg SUBQ 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.)
mL
Explanation & Rationale
Volume (mL) = Desired dose (mg) / Concentration (mg/mL) In this case: Desired dose = 80 mg Concentration = 60 mg/0.6 mL Plugging the values into the formula: Volume = 80 mg / (60 mg/0.6 mL) = 0.8 mL Therefore, the nurse should administer 0.8 mL of enoxaparin sodium.
