    Calculation

    The nurse is preparing to administer enoxaparin 90 mg subcutaneously daily to a client admitted with a pulmonary embolism. The pharmacy provides a prefilled syringe labeled "Enoxaparin 100 mg/1 mL." How many milliliters should the nurse administer? (Enter numeric value only.)

    mL

    Explanation & Rationale

    To calculate the number of milliliters the nurse should administer, we can use the following formula: Dose to administer = Ordered dose / Available dose In this case, the ordered dose is 90 mg and the available dose is 100 mg/1 mL. We can calculate the dose to administer as follows: 90 mg / 100 mg/1 mL = 0.9 mL.
