Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reviewing the laboratory data of a client who is receiving filgrastim. Which of the following laboratory values should the nurse monitor to evaluate the effectiveness of the treatment?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: WBC count. Filgrastim is a medication that stimulates the production of white blood cells (WBCs). Monitoring the WBC count is essential to evaluate the effectiveness of the treatment as an increase in WBC count indicates the medication is working to boost the immune system.
A: INR (International Normalized Ratio) is a measure of blood clotting, not relevant for evaluating filgrastim effectiveness.
B: BUN (Blood Urea Nitrogen) is a measure of kidney function, not related to filgrastim therapy.
C: Potassium level monitoring is important for other medications but not specifically for filgrastim.
In summary, monitoring the WBC count is crucial in assessing the response to filgrastim therapy, while the other laboratory values are not directly related to its effectiveness.
