Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer filgrastim 5 mcg/kg/day subcutaneous to a client who weighs 143 lb. How many mcg should the nurse administer per day?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale:
To calculate the dose of filgrastim for the client weighing 143 lb, first convert the weight to kg (143 lb รท 2.2 = 65 kg).
Then, multiply the weight in kg by the dose (5 mcg/kg/day) to get the total dose per day (65 kg x 5 mcg/kg/day = 325 mcg/day).
Therefore, the nurse should administer 325 mcg per day. The correct answer is A (324) as it is the closest value to the calculated dose of 325 mcg/day. Other choices are incorrect as they do not align with the correct calculation.
