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: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: WBC count. Filgrastim is a medication that stimulates the production of white blood cells (WBCs). By monitoring the WBC count, the nurse can assess the effectiveness of filgrastim in increasing the client's WBC levels, which is crucial for fighting infections. Monitoring other laboratory values such as INR (choice
B), BUN (choice
C), and potassium level (choice
D) would not directly evaluate the effectiveness of filgrastim in this context. INR is used to monitor blood clotting time, BUN assesses kidney function, and potassium level indicates electrolyte balance, none of which are directly related to the action of filgrastim on WBC production.
