A client has been diagnosed with heparin-induced thrombocythemia and been prescribed an intravenous infusion of argatroban 2 mcg/kg/min. The nurse has added 100 mg argatroban (a direct thrombin inhibitor) to a 100-mL Mini-Bag, and the client weighs 180lb. How many ml should the nurse administer to the client? (Round the answer to the nearest tenth. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.) Be sure to include your appropriate unit of measurement in your answer.
