Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) administration immediately following chemotherapy is not an effective strategy for managing neutropenic fever because it does not allow enough time for the chemotherapy to clear from the patient's system, potentially leading to reduced effectiveness of the G-CSF. The other options (B, C, D) are considered effective strategies for managing or preventing neutropenic fever by either treating infection or stimulating the bone marrow to produce more white blood cells.
