Lovenox injection

[Lewis35]

If you have an order for lovenox injection 1mg per kg q 12 hrs and say this patient weighs 173 lbs available is 80mg/0.8 ml how many ml would you administer? I used dimensional analysis and come up with 0.7863ml rounded to nearest hundredth 0.79ml but with lovenox syringes would you round up to 0.8 ml and administer 80mg? I'm not familiar with the graduations on the syringe. I'm just not sure how to round when it come to lovenox syringes

It is actually correct pharmaceutical practice to round Lovenox UP to the nearest tenth, no matter the dose. Ex: dose calls for 7.4mg of Lovenox, it should be rounded to 8.0. Very little known blurb about Lovenox.
