The healthcare provider prescribes a single dose of filgrastim 5 mcg/kg subcutaneously for a client who weighs 59 kg. 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.)

Calculate the total dose: The client weighs 59 kg and the dose is 5 mcg/kg, so the total dose is 59 kg * 5 mcg/kg = 295 mcg. Calculate the volume to administer: The medication is available at a concentration of 300 mcg/mL. To find the volume, divide the total dose by the concentration: 295 mcg / 300 mcg/mL = 0.9833 mL. Round to the nearest tenth: 1.0mL
