    Calculation

    A nurse is preparing to administer filgrastim 250 mcg subcutaneous. How many mg should the nurse administer? (Round the answer to the nearest hundredth. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)

    mg

    Explanation & Rationale

    Desired dose in micrograms (mcg) = 250 mcg. Convert the desired dose from micrograms (mcg) to milligrams (mg). 1 mg = 1000 mcg Desired dose in mg = 250 mcg / 1000 mcg/mg = 0.25 mg.
