Simulated
A nurse is preparing to administer enoxaparin 1.5 mg/kg subcutaneously to a client who weighs 175 lb. How many mg should the nurse administer? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
Correct answer
119
Rationale
Client weight is 175 lb = 79.55 kg (175 ├À 2.2). Dose = 1.5 mg/kg ├ù 79.55 kg = 119.325 mg, rounded to 119 mg.
