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? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
Correct Answer: A
Rationale:
To calculate the correct dose of filgrastim for the client weighing 143 lb, we first convert the weight to kg: 143 lb รท 2.2 = 65 kg. Next, we multiply the weight in kg by the dose (5 mcg/kg/day): 65 kg x 5 mcg/kg/day = 325 mcg/day. Rounded to the nearest whole number, the nurse should administer 325 mcg/day.
Therefore, the correct answer is A: 324 mcg. The other choices are incorrect as they do not reflect the accurate calculation based on the client's weight and the prescribed dose.
