Hesi Dosage Calculations Care ( 41 Questions)
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.)
To calculate the volume of medication to administer, we can use the following formula: Volume = Dose / Concentration
In this case, the dose is 5 mcg/kg and the client weighs 59 kg. We can calculate the total dose as follows: 5 mcg/kg x 59 kg = 295 mcg
The medication is available in a 300 mcg/mL vial. We can calculate the volume required as follows: 295 mcg / 300 mcg/mL = 0.9833 mL
We should round this value to the nearest tenth of a milliliter, which gives us 0.1 mL.
