    Calculation

    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.)

    mL

    Explanation & Rationale

    Calculation: Desired dose = 480 mcg. Available concentration = 300 mcg/mL. Calculate the volume to administer. Volume (mL) = Desired dose (mcg) / Available concentration (mcg/mL) = 480 mcg / 300 mcg/mL = 1.6 mL.
