Question 2 :
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.)
Correct Answer: ["0.9"]
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.
