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, first convert the weight from pounds to kilograms (143 lb / 2.2 = 65 kg).
Then, multiply the weight by the prescribed dosage (65 kg * 5 mcg/kg = 325 mcg/day).
Therefore, the correct answer is A. The other choices are incorrect because they do not follow the correct calculation method or have inaccurate values. It's crucial to convert the weight to kg and apply the correct dosage per kg to determine the accurate daily dose.
