Question 1 of 5

The healthcare provider prescribes filgrastim 5 mcg/kg/day subcutaneously for a client who weighs 132 pounds and has just completed chemotherapy. The medication is available in 480 mcg/0.8 mL. How many mL should the nurse administer?(Enter numerical value only. If rounding is required, round to the nearest tenth.)

Correct Answer: 0.5

Rationale:
To find the answer, we can use the following steps: Convert the client's weight from pounds to kilograms by dividing by 2.2. Calculate the dose of filgrastim in mcg by multiplying the weight in kg by the dosage in mcg/kg/day. Divide the dose in mcg by the concentration of filgrastim in mcg/mL. Round the result to the nearest tenth. Using these steps, we get: (weight in kg) = (132) / (2.2) = 60 kg. (dose in mcg) = (5) x (60) = 300 mcg. (volume in mL) = (300) / (480 / 0.8) = 0.5 mL. (rounded volume in mL) = 0.5 mL.
Therefore, the nurse should administer 0.5 mL of filgrastim to the client.
