Answer:

When administering adenosine, the nurse must inject it through the IV push route.

Explanation:

Adenosine belongs to the drug class of antidysrhythmics and hence proper care and monitoring should be taken to avoid any adverse or side effects while or after administering the dose. Adenosine should be injected only via the IV route. The injection should be made close to an IV site, so as to flush each time with NS. The patient’s heart conditions should be monitored continuously on an ECG monitor and blood pressure machine. The dosage levels should match with the age appropriately. Adverse reactions of adenosine may include transient arrhythmias, bronchospasms, dyspnea etc.

Anestetic [448]

If your blood sugar is elevated in the morning, eating a small, high-protein breakfast (like eggs and vegetables) may actually help bring it down. It is a good idea to eat breakfast in the morning if you are hungry. If you are not hungry, wait to eat breakfast or a mid-morning snack when you get hungry.

You review antibiotic use for pneumonia and find the average duration of antibiotics is 10 days with a range from 5-14 days depe

STatiana [176]

"Since the intervention is designed to reduce the number of days that a resident receives antibiotics for bacterial pneumonia, the rate of antibiotic days of therapy per 1,000 resident days is most likely to change if the intervention is effective. Because this effort is not trying to reduce antibiotic starts for bacterial pneumonia, neither the rate of antibiotic starts nor the proportion of antibiotics given for pneumonia may change as a result of the intervention. Although the rate of antibiotic use by class might change if one antibiotic class is most commonly used to treat bacterial pneumonia, this measure wouldn't be the best choice for evaluating the new guideline."
