Question

The doctor ordered Neupogen 175 mcg subcutaneous. Every 3rays. The drug label on the vial reads Neupogen 300 mcg per ml. How many ml will the nurse administer for one dose

Answer 1

Answer:

0.6mL

Explanation:

In general you can find the actual volume to be administered as follows:

actual volume = (actual amount / dose amount) x dose volume

actual volume = (175mcg / 300mcg) x 1mL = 0.58mL

In practice it would probably be easier to just administer 0.6mL. The difference in dose won't be clinically meaningful.
