Question 1 of 5
The nurse calculates that 0.74 mi of filgrastim must be administered to a client subcutaneously. The client weights 165 lbs. What length and gauge of needle is best to administer this medication?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: 5/8 inch 25 gauge needle. This needle size is appropriate for subcutaneous injection as it is short enough to avoid reaching muscle tissue and the 25 gauge is wide enough to allow for the administration of the medication without causing significant discomfort. The other choices are incorrect because they are either too long (A, B,
D) or too wide (
D) for subcutaneous injection, which could lead to incorrect administration or increased pain for the client. It is important to select the appropriate needle length and gauge to ensure the medication is administered safely and effectively.
