Ati pn dosage calculation fundamentals proctored assessment 3.1 ( 35 Questions)
A nurse is preparing to administer filgrastim 480 mcg subcutaneous daily. Available is filgrastim injection 300 mcg/mL. How many mL should the nurse administer per dose? (Round the answer to the nearest tenth. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
Correct Answer: 1.6
Given:
Ordered dose: 480 mcg filgrastim
Available concentration: 300 mcg/mL
To find:
Volume to administer (mL)
Calculation:
We need to find the volume that contains 480 mcg of filgrastim.
We can achieve this by dividing the ordered dose (480 mcg) by the concentration (300 mcg/mL).
Volume (mL) = Ordered dose (mcg) / Concentration (mcg/mL)
Volume (mL) = 480 mcg / 300 mcg/mL
Round the answer to the nearest tenth:
Volume (mL) = 1.6 mL (rounded)
Answer:
The nurse should administer 1.6 mL of filgrastim injection per dose.
