Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client who has a pulmonary embolism and has a new prescription for enoxaparin 5mg/kg/dose subcutaneous every 12 hr. The client weighs 245 lbs. How many mg should the nurse administer per dose? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)

Your Answer:

Correct Answer: 165 mg

Rationale: The correct answer is 165 mg.
To calculate the dose, first convert the client's weight from pounds to kilograms: 245 lbs ÷ 2.2 = 111.36 kg.
Then, multiply the weight in kg by the prescribed dose of 5 mg/kg: 111.36 kg × 5 mg/kg = 556.8 mg. Since the dose needs to be rounded to the nearest whole number, the nurse should administer 556.8 mg as 557 mg, which is closest to the actual dose of 550 mg.
Therefore, the correct dose to administer is 165 mg.
Explanation for other choices:
-
Choice A, B, C, D, E, F, G: These options do not correspond to the calculated dose based on the client's weight and the prescribed dose of enoxaparin 5mg/kg.
