Solution

To answer this question, you need to know the concentration of the Enoxaparin (Lovenox) that you have. Enoxaparin is usually available in different concentrations such as 100 mg/mL, 150 mg/mL, etc.

For example, if your Enoxaparin (Lovenox) is in a concentration of 100 mg/mL, here's how you would calculate it:

  1. Identify the ordered dose: The ordered dose is 30 mg.
  2. Identify the available dose: The available dose is what concentration your medication is in. In this example, we're assuming you have Enoxaparin (Lovenox) available in a concentration of 100 mg/mL.
  3. Use the formula: Ordered dose ÷ Available dose = mL to administer.

So, 30 mg ÷ 100 mg/mL = 0.3 mL.

This means you would administer 0.3 mL of Enoxaparin (Lovenox).

Remember, this is just an example. You need to know the concentration of the Enoxaparin (Lovenox) you have to calculate the exact volume to administer.
