A client who weighs 176 pounds receives a prescription for filgrastim 5 mcg/kg/daily subcutaneously for 14 days. The medication is available in a 300 mcg/mL vial. How many mL should the nurse administer? (Enter numerical value only. If rounding is required, round to the nearest tenth.)

Calculation: Convert the client’s weight to kg Weight in kg = 176 ÷ 2.2 = 80 kg Calculate the dose in mcg Dose = 5 × 80 = 400 mcg Calculate the volume to administer Available Concentration = 300 mcg/mL Volume = Dose ÷ Concentration Volume = 400 ÷ 300 = 1.333 mL Round to the nearest tenth = 1.3 mL
