A nurse who works in an outpatient chemotherapy unit has received an order to administer filgrastim (Neupogen) to a client who received chemotherapy this morning
The client's white blood cell count is dropping rapidly. The nurse asks the client to return to the unit tomorrow for the filgrastim. What is the rationale for the nurse's request? 1. If given today, the increase in the white blood cell count will occur too rapidly. 2. The actions of the filgrastim and chemotherapy drugs will oppose each other. 3. If the filgrastim is given today, the risk of liver damage will increase. 4. There is an increased risk of adverse reaction to both drugs.
