Question 4 of 5

Question 5 of 5
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: The client's weight is 175 lb = 79.5 kg (175 ÷ 2.2). Dose = 1.5 mg/kg × 79.5 kg = 119.25 mg, rounded to 119 mg.
