Question 1 of 50 :
The healthcare provider prescribes filgrastim 5 mcg/kg SUBQ for a client who weighs 176 pounds. The available vial is labeled, filgrastim 300 mcg/mL. Based on the client's weight, how many milliliters should the nurse administer? (Enter numerical value only. If rounding is required, round to the nearest tenth.)
Correct Answer: 1.3
Convert the client's weight from pounds to kilograms: 176 pounds ÷ 2.2 = 80 kg Calculate the total dose needed: 5 mcg/kg x 80 kg = 400 mcg
Calculate the volume to administer: 400 mcg ÷ 300 mcg/mL = 1.3L
