The healthcare provider prescribes enoxaparin 1 mg/kg subcutaneously every 12 hours for a client who weighs 132 pounds. The medication is available in 60 mg/0.6 mL prefilled syringe. How many mL should the nurse administer per day? (Enter numerical value only.)
Correct Answer: 1.2
Rationale: Weight: 132 × 0.454 = 59.928 kg. Dose: 1 mg/kg × 59.928 = 59.928 mg. Volume per dose: (59.928 × 0.6) / 60 = 0.59928 mL. Daily volume: 0.59928 × 2 = 1.19856 mL, rounded to 1.20 mL.
