A nurse is preparing to administer fligrastin 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.)

Calculation: Determine the ordered dose in micrograms: Ordered dose: 250 mcg Convert micrograms to milligrams: Conversion factor: 1 mg = 1000 mcg Formula: Dose in mg = Dose in mcg / 1000 mcg/mg = 250 mcg / 1000 mcg/mg = 0.25 mg
