A nurse is preparing to administer enoxaparin 1 mg/kg subcutaneously every 12 hr. The client's weight is 121 lb. Available is enoxaparin 60 mg/0.6 mL. How many mL should the nurse administer per dose?
(Round the answer to the nearest tenth. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
The Correct Answer is ["0.6"]
Calculation: 1 mg/kg dose x 121 lb (weight) = 55 kg (approximately) 55 kg x 1 mg = 55 mg (dose required) Enoxaparin 60 mg/0.6 mL = 100 mg/mL Therefore, 55 mg / 100 mg/mL =
0.55 mL (rounded to 0.6 mL).

Correct Answer is ["3"]
Explanation
Adolescent weight = 88 lb, 1 kg = 2.2 lb (to convert lb to kg), 88 lb / 2.2 = 40 kg (approx.), 150 mg/kg dose x 40 kg = 6000 mg, Available dose = 500 mg/tab, 6000 mg / 500 mg/tab
= 12 tabs per day, divided equally every 6 hrs
= 12 tabs / 4 doses
= 3 tabs per dose.
Correct Answer is B
Explanation
Choice A rationale: There's no direct contraindication regarding dairy products with ranitidine.
Choice B rationale: Ranitidine, an H2 blocker, requires spacing from antacids to prevent decreased absorption, as antacids can reduce its effectiveness.
Choice C rationale: Aspirin may have interactions or adverse effects when taken concurrently with ranitidine.
Choice D rationale: Fine hand tremors are not an expected side effect of ranitidine.
