After receiving chemotherapy, a client who weighs 154 pound (70 kg) develops febrile neutropenia. The healthcare provider prescribes filgrastim 5 mcg/kg SUBQ every 12 hours. The available vial is labeled, filgrastim 300 mcg/mL. Based on the dient's weight, how many milliliters should the nurse administer? (Enter the numerical value only, If rounding is required, round to the nearest tenth.)
The Correct Answer is ["1.2"]
Weight: 154 lb ÷ 2.2 = 70 kg
Dose required: 5 mcg/kg × 70 kg = 350 mcg
Volume to administer: 350 mcg ÷ 300 mcg/mL = 1.17 mL (round to 1.2 mL)

Convert weight: 44 pounds ÷ 2.2 = 20 kg
Dose required: 10 mg/kg × 20 kg = 200 mg
Volume to administer: 200 mg ÷ (200 mg/5 mL) = 5 mL
Correct Answer is ["125"]
Explanation
Total volume: 250 mL
Time for infusion: 2 hours = 120 minutes
Infusion rate: 250 mL ÷ 120 minutes = 2.08 mL/min
Drops per minute: 2.08 mL/min × 15 gtt/mL = 125 gtt/min
