I solved using the formula method

Question

If a client requires enoxaparin (Lovenox) 191 mg/day given in two divided doses, and Lovenox is available in 100 mg/ml syringe. How many milliliters should the nurse administer to the client in each dose?

 

I am a nursing student who is having a discrepancy with how this question should be answered. It was on a math test, that was not administered by a math teacher, but will count towards my math grade. I am curious as to how actual math professionals will answer this question. 

Answer 1

You divide 191 mg to 2 which equals 95.5 mg each dose. 100 mg is in 1 ml. You divide 95.5 to 100, which equals 0.95 ml with each dose.
