    After receiving five doses of filgrastim, the nurse notes that the clients white blood cell count has increased from 2,500/mm3 to 5,000/mm3. Which action would the nurse take?

    Explanation & Rationale

    Filgrastim is a medication used to increase the production of white blood cells. An increase in the client’s white blood cell count from 2,500/mm3 to 5,000/mm3 after receiving five doses of filgrastim indicates that the medication has been effective in increasing the client’s white blood cell count. The nurse should inform the client of this positive outcome.
