Practice Question

A client is to receive enoxaparin 30 mg subcutaneously. Available is enoxaparin 40 mg/mL. How many mL should the nurse administer? (Round the answer to the nearest tenth. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)

Answer Choices:

Correct Answer:

0.8

Rationale:

⚖️The dosage ordered is 30 mg; available is 40 mg/mL.

🧮Use the formula: Desired ÷ Available × Volume = (30 ÷ 40) × 1 = 0.75 mL, rounded to 0.8 mL.

💉Accurate volume calculation prevents underdosing or overdosing of anticoagulants.

🛡️Enoxaparin must be precisely dosed to avoid bleeding complications.

📌core message

Use ratio formula (desired/available) to determine volume of subcutaneous medications.
