Question 1 of 5
The healthcare provider prescribes enoxaparin sodium 80 mg SUBQ three times daily. The nurse is preparing a preloaded 1 mL syringe labeled 'Enoxaparin sodium injection, USP 60 mg/0.6 mL.' How many mL should the nurse administer?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale:
To determine the correct dose of enoxaparin sodium to administer, we can use the formula:
Dose ordered (80 mg) / Dose on hand (60 mg) x Quantity on hand (0.6 mL) = X mL to administer
80 mg / 60 mg x 0.6 mL = 0.8 mL
Therefore, the nurse should administer 0.8 mL of enoxaparin sodium.
Choice A (0.6 mL) is incorrect because it is the amount in the preloaded syringe, but the prescribed dose is higher.
Choices C (1.0 mL) and D (1.2 mL) are incorrect as they do not match the calculated dose.
