Dosage Calculation RN Adult Medical Surgical Proctored Assessment 3 ( 36 Questions)
Question 1 of 36 :
A nurse is preparing to administer enoxaparin 40 mg subcutaneous for prevention of deep vein thrombosis. Available is enoxaparin 100 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.)
Correct Answer: 0.4
To calculate the dose of enoxaparin, use the formula: Dose (mg) / Concentration (mg/mL)
= Volume (mL)
Plug in the values from the question: 40 mg / 100 mg/mL = 0.4 mL
Round the answer to the nearest tenth: 0.4 mL
The nurse should administer 0.4 mL of enoxaparin subcutaneously for prevention of deep vein thrombosis.
