    Explanation & Rationale

    Given: Ordered dose of Filgrastim: 410 mcg SUBQ every day Concentration of Filgrastim: 600 mcg/mL Step 1: Set up the proportion: Desired dose (mcg) / Volume to administer (mL) = Concentration (mcg/mL) Step 2: Substitute the values: 410 mcg / Volume = 600 mcg/mL Step 3: Solve for the unknown volume: Volume = 410 mcg / (600 mcg/mL) Volume = 410 mcg x (1 mL / 600 mcg) Volume = 0.6833 mL Step 4: Round to the nearest tenth: Volume ≈ 0.7 mL
