    Calculation

    The nurse is preparing to administer enoxaparin 135 mg subcutaneously. The medication is available in a cartridge labeled 150 mg/mL. How many mL should the nurse administer? (Enter numeric value only. If rounding is required, round to the nearest tenth.)

    mL

    Explanation & Rationale

    To calculate the volume of medication to administer, we can use the following formula: Volume = Dose / Concentration In this case, the dose is 135 mg and the concentration is 150 mg/mL. We can calculate the volume required as follows: 135 mg / 150 mg/mL = 0.9 mL
