Question 1 of 5
Which laboratory test will the nurse use to determine whether filgrastim (Neupogen) is effective for a patient with acute lymphocytic leukemia who is receiving chemotherapy?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Filgrastim (Neupogen) is used to increase white blood cells, specifically neutrophils. Monitoring the white blood count (WB
C) and absolute neutrophil count (AN
C) is the appropriate way to determine the effectiveness of the drug. Reticulocyte count measures immature red blood cells, total lymphocyte count focuses on lymphocytes, and platelet count does not directly assess filgrastim's effect.
