Question 4 :
A nurse is preparing to administer enoxaparin 55 mg subcutaneously to a client who has a deep-vein thrombosis after undergoing a cesarean birth. Available is enoxaparin solution for injection 60 mg/0.6 mL. How many mL should the nurse administer? (Round the answer to the nearest tenth. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
Correct Answer: ["0.55 mL"]
60mg=0.6ml 55mg= 55*0.6/60
Volume (mL) = 0.55 mL
Rounding to the nearest tenth, the nurse should administer 0.6 mL of enoxaparin solution to the client.
