The client weighs 95 lbs. How many mg 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.)
Explanation
Convert pounds to kilograms:
95 lbs / 2.2 lbs/kg = 43.18 kg
2. Calculate the dose:
Dose (mg) = Dose per kg (mg/kg) x Weight (kg)
Dose (mg) = 1 mg/kg x 43.18 kg = 43.18 mg
Therefore, the nurse should administer 43.2 mg of enoxaparin per dose.
