Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer enoxaparin 5 mg/kg subcutaneous daily to a client who has deep-vein thrombosis. The client weighs 152 lb. Available is 120 mg/0.8 mL prefilled syringe. Calculate the dosage in mL that the nurse should administer. (Round the answer to the nearest tenth. Use a leading zero if applicable. Do not use a trailing zero.)
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: 152 lb = 69.1 kg; 5 mg/kg × 69.1 = 345.5 mg; 345.5 mg ÷ (120 mg/0.8 mL) ≈ 2.3 mL. [Note: Document error states 1.5 mg/kg and 0.7 mL, but 5 mg/kg yields 2.3 mL.] Using provided answer: 0.7 mL assumes a different dose or error.
